Effective Unit Testing

Write a test suite that you can trust and that speeds you up

This workshop will help you to adopt or improve your unit testing approach 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 time fixing bugs
Your team adopted unit tests, but they need to continuously change them as they add features
You want to adopt an effective, industry proven, approach to automated developer testing
You’d like to have a test suite that speeds up your cycle time

Why Attend

You want to prevent bugs
Your test suite is slowing you down
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. After the live sessions, you get access to materials on our learning platform and follow up questions.

By the end of the workshop, the participants will learn how to write simple, maintainable unit tests that prevent bugs from reaching production.
