TDD examples

I'm looking for some sample projects that were built using TDD, mainly
because I need to just see some good examples of tests to get a better feel
for it. Does anyone have any sample projects or references that demonstrate
good examples of TDD (and unit testing in general).

Preferably in some trivial/simple projects as I know I can take a look at
various OSS projects but it's hard to pull out the intentions of the tests
without getting bogged down in the objectives of the OSS project.

Cheers,
Dan

It is not obvious to me how the objectives of an OSS project get in the way,
whilst the objectives of a sample project do not. Unit tests should be able
to be viewed in isolation of the larger project scope. They should stand up
on their own and be focussed.

Having said that... maybe try
http://codebettercanvas.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ or similar to get a grip
on the basics.

I would take a look at the bowling game transcript from Bob Martin, it
shows how to think in TDD.

Simone, this transcript:
http://www.objectmentor.com/resources/articles/xpepisode.htm very
enlightening thanks!

Steven, that is useful also, I guess I didn't mean the objectives getting in
the way more rather the scale of the project gets in the way, with more
complexity comes more configuration and more to digest and understand. It is
useful for referencing more complex scenarios but when just trying to get
started with basic domain and data access tests it's a little overwhelming.
But point taken and thanks for the link.

Here are some TDD Kata screencasts that may help you realize TDD in action:

I recently bought Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided by
Tests<http://www.amazon.com/Growing-Object-Oriented-Software-Guided-Tests/dp/0321503627/>

<http://www.amazon.com/Growing-Object-Oriented-Software-Guided-Tests/dp/0321503627/>I
haven't read the book yet but I did flip through it briefly and it seems to
have good examples of real word applications.  And since the book is all
about testing, I can only assume it attempts to explain how one might build
these app through TDD (again, haven't actually sat down and read the book
yet).

Can't fully endorse it yet since I haven't taken any significant amount of
time to digest the content but it might be a good place for you to start
looking.
