TDD for Embedded C++ Introduction

Test-Driven Development is a technique for programming. Initially, it requires a lot of discipline. Over time it is addictive. TDD is a practice developed by Ward Cunningham and Kent Beck, and it is a key practice of Extreme Programming. This technique can be used very effectively for developing embedded software. If you need your software to work and want to have high test coverage, you should try TDD.

Instead of talking a lot about TDD, I am going to show it to you TDD instead. I’ll show you TDD in C++ and use CppUnitLite[OM] to write unit tests. I will also write code that conforms to the Embedded C++ draft standard to the best of my ability to understand the standard. If you are a C programmer, TDD can be used to develop C programs as well, so please read on.
