There's lots and lots of information on Test Driven Development (TDD) on the web. Much of it is very useful, but many people still don't get the primary point.

• Test Driven Development is a design technique, not a testing technique.

Sure, you end up with a UnitTest suite that can be very useful for testing and provide a framework for adding tests. This is a wonderful benefit of TDD, but it's not what TTD is.

ToBeWritten:

• The change of viewpoint required to do TDD.
• How the tests generated by TDD are "free," coming out of design time that is necessary in any case.
• Why I don't want to write software without TDD, ever again.
• How to get started with TDD.
  • Greenfield development
  • Legacy development
    • Potential code bases

    • [http://columba.sourceforge.net/ Columba] email client, has some unit tests but doesn't look like complete coverage, a little big and complex for an example (broken into multiple projects built with Maven).

    • [http://sourceforge.net/projects/jabref/ JabRef] bibliographic database, has some unit tests, needs some refactoring for clarity, in any event.

    • [http://xplanner.org XPlanner] might be a possibility.

    • [http://jgnash.sourceforge.net/ JGnash] is a java personal finance program, has some unit tests (JUnit 4, Java 5)

    • [http://sourceforge.net/projects/jmoney/ JMoney] is a java/Eclipse RCP personal finance program

    • [http://sourceforge.net/projects/nomadpim/ Nomad PIM], Java 5, has test suite
