TDD Tracker

An sbt plugin that sends test data to the TDD metric project when writing code using Scala and SBT.

Use the collated statistics to help you focus on making your TDD feedback cycle as tight as possible.

Installing the plugin

sbt> publishLocal

~/.sbt/1.0/plugins/plugins.sbt

addSbtPlugin("sarginson" % "sbttddmetricstracker" % "0.1.0")

SBT input tasks

The following 3 STB input tasks are all you need to start, stop and get the metrics for a TDD coding session

task	description
tddStart	Start a tdd session
tddDetails	Returns the metrics for the current tdd session
tddEnd	Ends the current tdd session

N.B. Once the TDD session is started, you need to run the tests. I would recommend using the ~testQuick sbt task to continually run your tests automatically on save so the timings of the RGR cycles are as accurate as possible.

tddStart

Starts a new TDD session by sending the following details to the TDD metric project:

• Start time
• project base directory
• file type of the files to watch

tddDetails

Prints out the TDD metrics for the current session in the SBT terminal.

tddEnd

Ends the current TDD session by removing the stored TDD session ID from the SBT session value
