Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a software development process with a test-first approach that shows promise for improving code quality. Our research addresses concerns raised in both academia and industry about a lack of motivation or acceptance in adopting TDD. In a CS2 class, we used an automated testing tool and post-class surveys to observe patterns of behavior in testing as well as changes in attitudes. We found significant positive outcomes for students following TDD. We also identified obstacles deterring students from adhering to TDD and discuss reasons and possible remedies.
