In industry experiments using test-driven development (TDD), some researchers report significantly increased code quality over traditional test-last approaches. Not surprisingly computing and information technology educators have begun to call for the introduction of TDD into the curriculum. This paper explores the pedagogical experience to date in using a test-first approach in the classroom. Selected studies include four experience reports, one conceptual paper, and three experiments comparing TDD against control groups. Issues in operationalizing TDD across the curriculum are examined, including programming language assertion mechanisms, the feasibility of employing test frameworks, and the automated verification of student test plans. Recommendations derived from the literature are presented.
