In this issue...

In this issue, we have a detailed article on Test Driven Development: Part III – Continuous Integration.

Abstract: In this final part of the three part series on Test Driven Development, we focus on continuous integration. When should we run our tests? How often should we run it? Where the tests should be run? Why are these questions important to ask and answer? In this article we address these issues and consider the tools that are available to realize these goals. Please visit http://www.agiledeveloper.com/download.aspx to download the complete article from the Agile Developer web site.
