Design for testability is a fraud - TDD is easy - NZUG meeting

I've just returned two hours ago from the third meeting of Ness Tziona Usergroup as usual the meeting was great :-)

Lior Friedman gave a talk about the doing TDD through not by designing for testability.

The meeting was divided to two parts (with several slices of Pizza in the middle) the first part was a discussion about TDD, design for testability - its pros and cons and why it is a fraud. The second part involved demos of C++ & C# Unit testing / Mocking framework specially the Typemock isolator - there was also a Java unit testing demo ready but only one attendee was working with Java so we passed that demo.
