Overview

This Test driven development workshop gives you an in-depth introduction to evolutionary design, refactoring and automated testing. Our hands on coaching focuses on giving you a simple learning curve while fully enabling you to adopt the TDD approach to software development processes.

The workshop explores the fundamentals of unit testing, automated refactoring, legacy code and the core philosophies of TDD in the software development process. Case Studies, simulations, and interactive discussions with our experienced coaches will help you understand the concept behind the ‘fail first’ ideology and the confidence to write well-structured and well-designed code.

What you will learn:

  • Introduction to Unit test, unit test characteristics
  • Test Driven Development – why, what and how
  • TDD Cycle – Red, Green and Refactor
  • Drive the development (design and implementation) of a User Story
  • Learn concept of Emergent Design and why emergent design
  • How TDD helps you design software
  • Why testing rst is better than testing after
  • Overview of Refactoring, Clean Code principle and Refactoring to Patterns
  • Software design – going deeper in SOLID design Principles
  • How to use mocking frameworks.

Prerequisites

Participants are expected to have testing experience and knowledge of testing tools.
