I thought I’d never say it, but I’m starting to like test driven development. I’ve been working in Squeak as part of Ralph Johnson’s design patterns class here at the University of Illinois. After a semester of Squeak, it feels wrong not to have tests. Tests seem to fit nicely into Smalltalk and the Smalltalk culture. Building tests has been an amazing way to explore my model objects for a small Seaside webapp. I’ve put together a few different sets of classes and methods, and each time it’s been slightly wrong. I wrote the tests first, and I’ve been able to build model objects that aren’t (as) clunky.

Now I need to transfer this over to my Objective-C coding.
