56.  TDD is a robust way of designing software
components (“units”) interactively so that
their behavior is specified through unit
tests.
 Whenever you are tempted to type
something into a print statement or a
debugger expression, write it as a test
instead.
 Manual or automated testing is much
better for finding bugs.
 Automated integration tests are much
better for detecting regression (things that
used to work but have unexpectedly stopped
working).
[TestMethod]
public void Debit_WithValidAmount_UpdatesBalance()
{
// arrange
double beginningBalance = 11.99;
double debitAmount = 4.55;
double expected = 7.44;
BankAccount account =
new BankAccount("Mr. X", beginningBalance);
// act
account.Debit(debitAmount);
// assert
double actual = account.Balance;
Assert.AreEqual(expected, actual, 0.001,
"Account not debited correctly");
}

57.  Visual Studio Test Explorer is designed to
support developers and teams who
incorporate unit testing in their software
development practices.
 Unit testing helps you ensure the correctness
of your program by verifying that the
application code does what you expect it to
do.
 In unit testing, you analyze the functionality
of your program to discover discrete testable
behaviors that you can test as
individual units.
 You use a unit testing framework to create
tests of those behaviors and to report the
results of those tests.
