TDD and the Terminator - A Guide to Better Test Driven Development

Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.

Getting started with Test Driven Development (TDD) and more importantly doing it well can be very challenging. It requires a different mindset and approach to writing and developing code. However, once in that mindset, it is very difficult not to write tests first.

But why bother writing tests first?

In this session, Layla will go through the reasons for writing tests before coding, look at architecture and design principles, such as SOLID and see how it all comes together to create a more testable and maintainable application.

She will show you how to get better at writing tests first with practical examples on how to reprogram a T800 series Terminator so you can start using TDD in your own applications (or killer robots from the future).

Hasta La Vista badly-written code!
