Hello!

Hello there! I am an aspiring researcher focused on TDD, a close friend of software testing. My research is focused on investigating the influence of Test-Driven Development (TDD) on the generation of test smells. This entails examining various aspects of software development under TDD, including organizational factors, team dynamics, and technical practices. I also developed Testable, a gamified tool that aims to improve the unit test teaching, trying to change the boring perception that developers have in learning how to test their code. Currently I am working as a Software craftsperson at Codurance, changing the way people build systems and trying to close the gap between academia and industry. Want to stay tuned on software development? Sign up on my newsletter "Papers of the week".
