Course description
This course provides a practical and effective introduction to the concept and practice of TDD (Test Driven Development). Having the word “Test” does not endear it to most developers upon first hearing its name. This introduction directly addresses this apprehension and demonstrates the impressive yet non-intuitive results seen by its practitioners. These developers proudly self-identify as being “Test Infected” and, upon completion of this introduction, participants in this course will better appreciate why.
This course’s exercises are focused primarily on practical concerns of developers but project managers and technical managers will take away an understanding of how the application of TDD practices can significantly improve both team morale and productivity.
Course Objective
1. Describe the basics of TDD in the Agile Context.
2. Address the apprehension developers might feel towards TDD.
3. Demonstrate how TDD addresses problems that developers encounter every day.
4. Demonstrate Techniques of TDD.
5. Demonstrate how to best leverage tools with TDD.
Who should attend
Developers,Technical Managers, and Product Managers looking for alternatives to defect backlogs and low quality due to ever changing requirements.
