}Test-driven development is one of the central techniques of Extreme Programming. However, the impact of test-driven development on the business value of a project has not been studied so far. We present an economic model for the return on investment when using test-driven development instead of the conventional development process. Two factors contribute to the return on investment of test-driven development: the productivity difference between test-driven development, and the conventional…

Reducing Testing Effort in the Test Driven Development
- Computer Science, Business
- 2013
This research is introducing a new technique which reduces the effort of the TDD approach, which is a good approach for the development of the new software but it is more time consuming process model when test the existing software system.
On the economic evaluation of XP projects
- EconomicsESEC/FSE-11
- 2003
The analysis shows that the economic value of, XP strongly depends on how large the XP speed and defect advantage really are, and finds that the market pressure is an important factor when assessing the business value of XP.
Test Driven Development of Scientific Models
- Computer Science

A number of relevant design patterns are discussed to apply Test-Driven Development in an embedded environment and four methods have been identified and evaluated.
Embedded Test-Driven Development Strategies
- Computer Science
- 2010
Three migration strategies are defined, which gradually move the development cycle from target-based to host-based, and are illustrated in a step-wise workshop, which indicates several advantages and disadvantages of each technique.
Test-driven development strategies applied to embedded software
- Computer Science

A mathematical model was developed to evaluate four strategies of TDD in an embedded environment using a single relevant metric, namely the number of required code uploads.
Developer Testing in the IDE: Patterns, Beliefs, and Behavior
- Computer ScienceIEEE Trans. Software Eng.
- 2019
A large-scale field study with 2,443 software engineers whose development activities were closely monitored over 2.5 years in four integrated development environments (IDEs) concludes that Test-Guided Development (TGD) is argued to be closer to the development reality of most developers than TDD.

It turns out that test-first does not accelerate the implementation, and the resulting programs are not more reliable, but test- first seems to support better program understanding.
