Do you know when:
- Your codebase changes?
- Stories aren’t done?
- New features are wrong?
Test Driven Development can help.
Most developers know they should write automated tests for their code. Few do. The reason? “Because it takes too long, and the code is finished anyway by then.”
TDD uses a simple 3-step process called the “Red-Green-Refactor” pattern to ensure tests get written, code does what the tests expect, and duplication of code is reduced. When practiced regularly over time, this builds up a large suite of unit tests that ensure we know when code has been changed. It also helps us know if code continues to do what we originally expected.
While the practice is simple, the implementation may be complicated. This course will help you navigate the waters of software development in the vessel of TDD. We’ll dive into practices, techniques and solutions that lead to success with TDD and software delivery.
Each live session will be recorded and available 24/7 for registrants. Once a week, we’ll have an office hour where registrants can bring the challenges of implementing TDD in their workplace.
