"Design Driven Testing"

By Doug Rosenberg and Matt Stephens

The groundbreaking book Design Driven Testing brings sanity back to the software development process by flipping around the concept of Test Driven Design such that design comes in its rightful order—first. This book introduces the premise of Design Driven Testing: that you first create a software design, and then drive the tests and the code from that design model. The purpose of the tests then is not to drive the design but to reliably prove that the design has been correctly implemented.

"Extreme Programming Refactored: The Case Against XP"

By Matt Stephens and Doug Rosenberg

Cuts through the hype and tells "the other side of the story" about Extreme Programming
