TDD as if you Meant It: Create Duplication in order to remove it (Episode 8)
About
After a couple of episodes when I showed how we can get out of TDD as if you Meant It to Traditional TDD. By Traditional TDD, I mean the TDD when you are allowed to create classes and methods before the test.
During this episode you will see how I focus on other primitives from the tests, and I add new tests in order to create duplication between the existing tests and the new tests. Then I remove the duplication by following the Rule of Three.
Duplication
Duplication can be of many types, but that is a different topic that I will follow later. During this episode I am focusing on structural duplication, meaning on the string primitives that still exist in the tests.
