The best place to start learning is with the interactive tuto

Test Driven Development (TDD) has been around for about a decade, and has been mainstream for at least five years now. During this time, TDD practitioners have been gradually changing and refining the methodology, the mindset, and the terminology in an effort to increase its usefulness and avoid some of the problems that newcomers often experience.
