Unit Testing Workshop v2.0

Explore and practice how to get rid of bugs, increase the quality and the design of your code

This workshop will help you to adopt unit testing if:

Your customers or users are unhappy because they keep finding bugs in the application instead of just using it
Your Developers spend a lot of (non-billable) hours fixing bugs
Your team adopted unit tests, but now they are complaining that they slow them down
Your application is huge and Developers cannot modify it fast enough. (Also check the “Working FAST and safe with existing code” class for this part)

Why Attend

You want to avoid development mistakes
You consider adopting unit testing
You want to adopt unit testing and would like to avoid common pitfalls
You would like to simplify your unit tests because they are complicated and slow

This workshop is hands-on, with about 60% of the time spent on programming exercises.

The participants will also know how to write simple, maintainable unit tests. It introduces the core unit testing techniques and a set of guidelines that when followed minimize the time spent on maintaining test code.
