London Software Craftsmanship Community:TDD As If You Meant It
TDD As If You Meant It
Join us at Skills Matter for the monthly LSCC meetup. This month the user-group will present a hands-on session, so bring your laptop!!

In this month we will be practicing TDD As If You Meant It. This is an approach that may help your design to emerge from tests. The rules are:

1. Write exactly one new test, the smallest test you can that seems to point in the direction of a solution

2. See it fail

3. Make the test from (1) pass by writing the least implementation code you can in the test method.

4. Refactor to remove duplication, and otherwise as required to improve the design. Be strict about using these moves:

i)you want a new method—wait until refactoring time, then… create new (non-test) methods by doing one of these, and in no other way: - preferred: do Extract Method on implementation code created as per (3) to create a new method in the test class, or
- if you must: move implementation code as per (3) into an existing implementation method

ii) you want a new class—wait until refactoring time, then… create non-test classes to provide a destination for a Move Method and for no other reason
- populate implementation classes with methods by doing Move Method, and no other way The member of the pair without their hands on the keyboard must be very strict in enforcing these rules, especially 4.1 and 4.2

Agile Testing & BDD eXchange 2012

The 2011 Agile Testing & BDD eXchange was completely sold out -- don't miss your chance to get tickets for the hottest event of the year on Agile Testing and Behaviour Driven Development. Gojko Adzic is working with us to put together the best eXchnage yet! Gojko will be joined by other experts in Agile Testing and BDD here

Gojko Adzic's Test Driven Development Workshop

Gojko Adzic's two day workshop on Test Driven Development (TDD) enables you to experience and learn test driven development by doing it. You will be immersed in a realistic TDD project, allowing you to learn the practices and principles of test driven development and try them out in practice. Through facilitated exercises and discussion, you will experience two days of working on an agile test-driven team. You will use and learn basic Test Driven Development practices including unit testing, refactoring and related agile practices such as continuous integration and pair programming. You will understand the reasons behind TDD and experience its benefits first-hand. Find out more here

Practical Agile Testing with Janet Gregory

Janet Gregory's acclaimed three day practical agile testing course demonstrates how testers can become valued agile team members, how they contribute to delivering a continuous stream of business value, and provides ways to overcome common cultural and logistical obstacles in transitioning to an agile development process. The training course describes the values and principles that help testers adopt an Agile QA mindset, and how the whole team contributes to the success of any testing practices, including test automation. You will be shown how to complete testing activities in short iterations, and how testers contribute on a daily basis during each iteration and release cycle. Through interactive exercises and group discussions, you will discover good strategies for driving development with both executable and manual tests. The course is filled with real-life examples of the many ways agile testers add value. Find out more here

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
