This course is for Java developers who want to become proficient in test driven development.

  • Java developers
  • Architects

Attendees must be proficient in Java in order to do understand the material and do the labs.

Description
Learn how to write reliable, bug-free applications using Test Driven Development. This hands-on course brings together a variety of techniques, strategies and patterns of Test Driven Development. You will learn how to start applying the Test Driven Development on your project identifying the tests from requirements and then applying the heartbeat of test-code-refactor steps. The course will practically introduce refactorings that lead to better and reliable designs and code and also introduce a number of testing patterns and strategies.

This is a highly hands-on course, with programming labs constituting about 60% of the course.
