The Test-Driven Development training course delivers a hands-on view into how TDD can be used by developers, project managers, and the quality assurance teams to create higher quality software.
Ensuring every student has the same understanding of standard software testing procedures, the TDD training course begins with an examination of common test terminologies, practices, benefits and pitfalls. The course then moves into a discussion on the theory and practice of Test-driven development, the applicability of TDD in modern software development paradigms (like Web 2.0), and how it can be leveraged within different software engineering processes.
Once the foundation has been laid, the Test-Driven Development course transitions into a hands-on learning lab, where students learn the processes and practices of test-driven development in the creation of a basic application. Variations of this course exist for Test-driven development in .NET, PHP, and Java / Java EE.
The Test-Driven Development can also be delivered as a 5-day workshop.
Course Summary
Hands-on training is customized, instructor-led training with an in-depth presentation of a technology and its concepts, featuring such topics as Java, OOAD, and Open Source.
Workshops are instructor-led lab-intensives focused on the practical application of technologies through the facilitation of a project-related lab. Workshops are just the opposite of Seminars. They deliver the highest level of knowledge transfer of any format. Think wide (breadth) and deep (depth).
