Screencast: Outside-In Classicist TDD

In this screencast Sandro Mancuso performs the Mars Rover kata using Classicist TDD but starting from the public interface of the main class (Rover), which is normally associated to the Outside-In approach to TDD. As in any good classicist approach to TDD, design decisions are made during the refactoring phase. This video shows that the outside-in approach to software design can be used with whichever TDD style you prefer.
