An Introduction to Test Bench — Nathan Ladd at wroclove.rb 2023

Nathan Ladd tells the intertwined story of the Test Bench Ruby test framework and his own journey learning TDD 'the hard way' under Scott Bellware's mentorship. He explains how validating every step with the framework itself produced a novel capability — self-testable fixtures as reusable test objects — and argues TDD is a process and philosophy for improving implementation quality, not merely red-green-refactor mechanics.
