Applying TDD when the application is 100% CRUD

Question

I routinely run into this problem, and I\'m not sure how to get past this hurdle. I really want to start learning and applying Test-Driven-Development (or BDD, or whatever) but

Answer 1

I am working on a pure CRUD application right now But I see lots of benefits of Unit test cases (note- I didn't say TDD)

I write code first and then the test cases- but never too apart- soon enough though

And I test the CRUD operations - persistence to the database as well.

When I am done with the persistence - and move on to the UI layer- I will have fair amount of confidence that my service\persistence layer is good- and I can then concentrate on the UI alone at that moment.

So IMHO- there is always benefit of TDD\Unit testing (whatever you call it depending on how extreme you feel about it)- even for CRUD application You just need to find the right strategy for- your application

Just use common sense....and you will be fine.
