Back to Basics: Test-driven Development
summary
Covers practical TDD for C++ with concrete tools and outcomes: builds a simple Sudoku solver and small insertion sort to demonstrate unit tests with Google Test, finds an out‑of‑bounds bug that only appears under debug STL and is reliably caught by AddressSanitizer and ThreadSanitizer, and compares dependency injection strategies (constructor, setter, templates, runtime polymorphism) plus test doubles (stubs, fakes, mocks). Emphasizes designing for testability, sanitizers as pragmatic alternative to invasive DI, and avoiding flaky long tests.
