Hello,

I'm gradually becoming more interested in test driven development, and I decided to use it on one of my projects.

I am also thinking about using this approach on another project - a web application which I'm writing in django. I'm having some trouble wrapping my head around writing unit tests for something which will ultimately be quite highly coupled with a framework.

Can anyone here recommend of a good way for going about this? How have you done it? Does it simply not work?

P.S. General good information about TDD would also be appreciated, since I'm new to the whole concept.

Test Driven Development by Kent Beck is a good book to get you started.

Thanks for that suggestion - I will be sure to read it.

I wonder why the question received so little feedback :\

In any case, I will try that read and hopefully my questions regarding framework based apps will be addressed.
