Test Driven Development

This two-day course is geared at programmers willing to improve the quality and design of their code through a disciplined development technique called Test Driven Development (TDD).

Several studies have concluded that TDD can boost quality and programmer productivity and our experienced software engineers have consistently found it an effective technique. It does, however, take time to learn – time that is difficult to arrange in the day-to-day pressure of software projects.

The course has been designed to give the participants the necessary opportunity to experiment with TDD in a safe environment through plenty of hands-on exercise, writing code "test-first". As the course progresses, the participants will get concise and focused introductions to a variety of topics followed by hands-on exercises about those topics. During the exercises the instructors will coach and mentor the participants, helping them experience and understand how Test Driven Development works.

This exercise-intensive training covers the following topics:

  • Foundations of Test Driven Development
  • Test patterns and JUnit idioms
  • Effective use of test doubles
  • Working with legacy code

Prerequisites

Participants are expected to have a solid working knowledge of the programming language used as well as basic understanding of object-oriented programming in general.

Don’t stop there!

We recommend following up this training with a period of on-site coaching by an experienced TDD practitioner to help participants apply their newly learned skills in the context of their particular project and technology.
