Course Overview

The TDD (Test Driven Development) course is a deep dive into a SW development methodology where tests drive the design and the coding of the SW. The course starts with an overview of the best practices in Unit Testing, and then provides a detailed overview of TDD. We start from a simple step-by-step example and build up the complexity with each additional example. Besides the core concepts of the methodology, the material covers advanced topics such as TDD and legacy code, TDD in multithreaded environment and TDD for embedded SW.
The course examples are in C++ and the gtest framework if used for the exercises, however the methodology is applicable to any development environment. The material includes step-by-step examples as well as hands-on exercises.
This is a 3-day course.

Who should attend?

SW developers who would like to learm about Unit Testing, SW developers who are familiar with Unit Testing and would like to make an additional step forward and use tests to drive their development, SW leads who would like to make Unit Testing and TDD an integral part of their team’s day-to-day work.
