Conway’s Game of Life

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Test Driven Development in Ruby

Abstract

This chapter will discuss how we can achieve a low level of semantic gaps in the solution, thereby resulting in domain-rich code that communicates its intent clearly. We will see that dependencies must be semantically correct and only essential dependencies must be retained. We will also review some of the solutions available online to illustrate the fact that TDD does not magically result in good design. Developers are responsible for applying good design principles to create elegant and easy to understand solutions.
