Course Outline
Java Test-Driven Development
This is a 2 day, instructor led course.
All developers want to build good quality software but not all developers test their software as they go along. Why not? A common explanation is “I don’t have time to write tests!” The more pressure they feel, the fewer tests they write. This leads to less accurate and stable code, less productivity, less confidence and, ultimately, more pressure. It’s a vicious cycle.
This course is designed to help you break out of the cycle by embracing unit-testing and, in particular, test-driven development. We will introduce the techniques and the tools necessary to prove your code as you go along.
Upon successful completion of this course, delegates with have the following skills:
• Creating tests using JUnit
• Using assertions and Hamcrest matchers
• Adopting a test-driven approach to development
• Using stubs and mock objects
• Writing integration tests
• Testing the user interface
Before attending this course, we recommend delegates have:
• At least 3 months Java programming experience
