Test Driven Development

• An understanding of programming concepts
• Experience with writing basic unit tests
• Familiarity with at least one programming language

Audience

• Software developers
• QA engineers and testers
• Anyone interested in improving their development practices using Test-Driven Development (TDD)

Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a software development methodology that emphasizes writing tests before the actual implementation to ensure code reliability and maintainability.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level software developers and QA engineers who wish to adopt and master TDD principles and practices to improve code quality and development efficiency.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the principles and workflow of Test-Driven Development (TDD).
• Write effective and maintainable unit tests.
• Utilize mocking frameworks to create comprehensive test scenarios.
• Apply TDD as a design tool to create robust and flexible code.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
