Steve Freeman and Nat Pryce's Growing Real Systems Guided by Tests (AGILE-EXP-TDD-SYSTEMS-01-02)

CODE: AGILE-EXP-TDD-SYSTEMS-01-02 DURATION: 2 DAY/S

Steve Freeman's Growing Real Systems Guided by Tests is an advanced course for those who want to improve their practice of Test-Driven Development.

This 2 day Test-Driven Development course shows how to use tests to guide the development of software.
We show how to apply this critical skill, using test friction to show us where the boundaries in the code should be so that we can write expressive, coherent code.

We also show how TDD works at the larger scale, helping us build reliable systems that fit into the usual soup of third-party services. In particular, we address working with asynchrony and distribution.

LEARN HOW TO:

use tests to guide the development of software
use test friction to show the boundaries in the code
use TDD to write expressive, coherent code
use Test-driven development for reliable large scale enterprise systems, working with ansynchrony and distribution
