Ping Pong Programming

Ping Pong Programming

Aim: To get your pair to do the hard work.

Setup: The game begins with a failing test. Players take turns...

Turns: You have 3 options

1
a/ Make the failing test pass
b/ Do any refactoring you can see
c/ Write or Uncomment a new failing test

2
a/ Comment out the failing test
b/ Write a simpler failing test

3
a/ Comment out the failing test
b/ Refactor to simplify the code
c/ Write or Uncomment a failing test

Hints: If your turn is longer than 3 minutes try option 2 or 3

Notes: Give this a go and notice how frequently you change drivers. Great when you have a pair that hog the keyboard.
