This hands-on tutorial teaches Test-Driven Development, using Mock Objects to drive the discovery of roles and responsibilities in the code.

Test-Driven Development in context: using high-level tests to drive features, low-level tests to drive design.
Object-Oriented Design: systems are built up from communicating objects that provide services for each other. Mock Objects helps us focus on the relationships between objects, clarifying their roles and encapsulating implementation detail.
Test-Driven Development: using problems in testing to help us identify weaknesses in our design, learning to listen to the tests.
