McCabe’s complexity and CK Metrics on the internal quality of test first implementation in Malaysian education settings

Test first is promoted in test driven development method as one of an effective Agile manifesto in producing a better quality applications. Several research have been conducted in education settings and among industrial practitioners in order to investigate the test first contribution in producing b...
