Really nice sample I found on the web that Explains the Given-When-Then Syntax style. The Given When Then style correlates closely to the Arrange Act Assert style for unit testing. Here's an example: [Test] public void RotateAngle_Given27Degress_Returns64Degrees() { //Arrange or Given var someAngleClass = new Angle(); //Act or When var result = someAngleClass.Rotate(27); //Assert or Then Assert.That(result, Is.EqualTo(64)); } Thanks:  http://stackoverflow.com/users/445105/joseph

The Clean Coder A Code of Conduct for Professional Programmers I hope I don't get in trouble for posting my notes as I recommend all developers to read The Clean Coder book.  These are just some of MY personal highlights from the book.  I'm sure you will get a lot out of it reading it for yourself vs. my notes.  I wrote this up so I can read over this daily and keep focusing on what I enjoy about coding and enjoying my profession.   Author:   Robert C Martin (Uncle Bob)     First Rule:   Do no harm QA should find nothing Test, Test, Test Every Line of Code should be tested! Design your solution to be easily tested Best way is to Write Tests first – i.e. TDD (Test Driven Development) Merciless refactoring:   Always check in a module cleaner than when you checked it out. Why do most developers fear to make continuous changes to their code:   They are afraid to break it.   Why, t...
