Abstract :
Test driven development (TDD) is one of the Agile techniques adopted in education. TDD is an ideal approach to be taught in university due to its capability in producing quality software and at the same time teaching novice programmers to test and develop a product simultaneously. It helps novice programmers to think before they develop rather than using “trial-and-error” approach in their project. However, based on the existing research, TDD contribution in producing a better quality and the perception among novice programmers towards it needs to be analyzed. This systematic review will identify the quality of a product produced by the students in university and also their perception towards TDD.
