TODD: Test-Oriented Development and Debugging

Abstract

The benefits of test-driven development (TDD) can be appealing to many seeking to reduce the amount of time spent on a software project, but not all projects can implement the TDD methodology fully. A technique similar to TDD - test oriented development - is introduced and a prototype software implementation in the form of an eclipse plug-in is presented to support the adoption of this more pragmatic approach by developers to help them write high quality software.
