TDD for Absolute Beginners
summary
Argues that red‑green‑refactor teaching is misleading and replaces it with a concrete, easier sequence: write one specific failing example, make the smallest production change to satisfy it, postpone refactoring until it yields measurable design improvement. Demonstrates the loop with live exercises, shows how to avoid excess mocks and large refactors, and delivers a short, reproducible routine for writing tests that drive design rather than ritual.
