Agile Testing UK:Weeknight Testing Live
Weeknight Testing Live
Thinking testers are willing to learn, have fun and challenge themselves. They are keen to use what they learn to improve themselves and their teams. "It's so cool to work w/ REAL TESTERS from around the globe" said Lisa Crispin about Weeknight Testing, the global phenomenon based on the grass-roots Weekend Tester movement. In this highly interactive workshop Mike Scott and Sharath Byregowda will facilitate a live weeknight testing session. As participants you will have the opportunity to complete a shared testing mission and share your findings and views with testers around the world. Please bring a laptop if you want to participate individually, however shared laptops will be provided for the group test session. Remember: this is a live testing event -- anything could happen!

Steve Freeman and Nat Pryce's Growing Real Systems Guided by Tests

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. Find out more here

Uncle Bob's Clean Code: Agile Software Craftsmanship

Even bad code can function. But if code isn't clean, it can bring a development organisation to its knees. Every year, countless hours and significant resources are lost because of poorly written code. But it doesn't have to be that way? This is a two-day hands-on course in which you will learn the principles and practices of Clean Code as described in Robert C. Martin's book: Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship. You will also receive this book as part of the course materials. This Clean Code course alternates between lecture and exercise so that you can experience, first-hand, the practices and disciplines of these fundamental topics. Find out more here

Gojko Adzic's BDD for Developers

This hands-on BDD workshop will help you get the key skills needed to succeed with behaviour driven development and specification by example. Through simulations and practical exercises, you will apply the ideas and practices of BDD to solve the most common issues development teams have with specifications and tests. You will use Cucumber to define and automate BDD scenarios to provide stakeholders with visibility into software features and help the delivery teams drive development and build quality in from the start.

SPEEDCODING LONDON 2011: Beyond Basic TDD

Inspired by an Open Space session at CITCON London on practices and techniques that take people beyond basic TDD, we have organised four intensive hands-on coding workshops in 2011 to explore the advanced topics of test driven development and object design.
In these workshops, you'll work in pairs, frequently switching who you'll pair with, to explore different models, provide and benefit from pair coaching. Bring your own laptop and work in your favourite IDE/language. The speed coding exercises are designed by Gojko Adzic, who will facilitate the workshops.
