Midje

A few good examples in Clojure would be: core.async https://github.com/clojure/core.async core.match https://github.com/clojure/core.match Compojure https://github.com/weavejester/compojure Midje https://github.com/marick/Midje Korma http://sqlkorma.com/

> Build the whole thing badly. It doesn't have necessarily to be poorly written code though - you can start with lots of constant functions and later replace with actual logic, and still, at each iteration you'll have a complete testable flow. Some test frameworks like Clojure's midje [1] and Python's mock [2] help a lot with this by making mocking functions inside the test painless, so you can start with what you wish you had and then fill the blanks. I believe someone on the internet named this "Wishful Thinking Driven Development", quite ingenious.

Hi, does Ultra work with Midje[1]? [1] https://github.com/marick/Midje

I shared your worries about the turnover time for unit tests. But if you use something like [Midje][1] with the 'autotest' feature on, your tests will run in the background after each save. It typically takes a fraction of a second to run the full suite, so by the time I'm done hitting save and switching over to the midje console, the test results are already there.

Not sure what Rich Hickey thinks, but my impression is he believes that example-based testing (http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simulation-Testing) is superior to other kinds of testing. Also, he promotes design rather than only coding (typing); perhaps when you did less TDD, you didn't invest that time to do more design? (Maybe TDD was a time to do design?) Anyway, you don't have to believe what he believes; for example Brian Marick's Midje. (https://github.com/marick/Midje) Whatever makes you the best Clojure programmer is right for you.
