Hello Lasse

Does the examples in book use Java or a reader of your book apply concepts into any language ?
Thanks

All the examples are in Java (and Java 5, specifically) but the concepts are portable to other object-oriented languages. Also, Part 3 is mostly technology-agnostic.

Yes, you should test the software regardless of whether the code was written test-first or not. While it's likely that test-driven software has less bugs, it doesn't guarantee zero-defect software. Besides, not all defects can be detected by a test that operates a single object or a couple of collaborating objects.

In other words, while TDD helps produce higher quality software, it's not a silver bullet.
