Uncle Bob's Advanced Test Driven Development

An intensely hands-on and exercise driven course that focuses on the design of clean, robust, and maintainable unit and acceptance tests. Students will learn the principles of test design, and the practices of keeping tests clean. More importantly, they will learn the principles of designing applications for testability. Exercises include the refactoring of bad tests, the writing of clean tests, and the design and refactoring of applications to make them testable. This is a three-day hands-on course in which you will learn the principles and practices of test design and described in Robert C. Martin's book: Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and Practices. You will also receive this book as part of the course materials. Exercises are in Java, but are applicable to C#, C++, and other object oriented languages. Find out more here
