Modern TDD in .NET
Test-Driven Development (TDD) puts testing at the heart of the development process. Instead of testing being a boring, time-compressed flurry of bug hunting that follows on from implementation, TDD sees us use tests to drive and support the implementation process itself. Applied correctly, TDD may lead to better designed, less buggy software that developers are confident to evolve and extend as new requirements arrive.
It sounds good, but as always we find challenges in the details: How can we write automated tests? Why is it a good idea to let tests drive development? How can we find time to write tests?
The course, developed by Edument's leading teachers and developers, is based on a set of real-life examples to show how to apply TDD. Of course, we guide you carefully through the practical aspects of writing unit tests - but it does not end there.
We show how tests can help the design process, how to get more out of tests, and discuss the properties of good tests and point out various pitfalls to avoid.
Relevant theory mixed with demonstrations and exercises gives you the chance to try for yourself. The course is built for you who work with the .NET Framework or .NET Core.
