Test Driven Development

Overview

Agile methodologies have seen considerable growth over recent years. One Agile Methodology, Extreme Programming, makes extensive use of XUnit frameworks to automate unit testing. However, many organizations remain somewhat shallow in their use of XUnit frameworks, partly due to the fact that unit tests are added as an afterthought.

Test Driven Development prevents testing becoming an afterthought through its simple rule of “only change the code once a test fails”. This forces the developer to develop XUnit tests to automate a particular coding requirement before undertaking the code, and only completing enough code necessary to make the test pass. In this way Test Driven Development acts as the to do list of coding requirements, but also acting as a mechanism to continuously assess quality as changes are made. This rule, albeit simple, has an astounding effect in the development of high-quality, maintainable code.

This 2-day course will provide attendees an experience with Test Driven Development (TDD), with many hands-on exercises to reinforce the principles learned.
