Test-Driven Development: writing tests first to drive better design.
Effective Pair Programming
Let's first establish what pair programming is: Two people working together on the same problem at the same time. It is not about one person showing off their skills in front of another, nor one person afraid of making m…
How to Test Private Methods?
From time to time I have had to face this question: how to test private methods? I have put together in an article the techniques that I usually use.
Dedicated QA Teams in Software?
This will be controversial, but let's talk about the QA position. The hidden truth behind the lack of software quality and why this should concern you if you write software.
Interview About XP and Agile
My interview with devm.io regarding Agile and Extreme Programming. Agile is more about HOW you do certain things, rather than WHAT things you do.
Clean Craftsmanship
Robert C. Martin covers the three pillars of software craftsmanship: TDD disciplines with practical examples, professional standards for teams, and the ethical responsibilities of programmers.

Clean Code
Even bad code can function. But if code isn't clean, it can bring a development organization to its knees. Every year, countless hours and significant resources are lost because of poorly written code. But it doesn't hav…
