Test Driven Development Training Course

TDD, or Test Driven Development, is an approach to developing software where coding, testing, and design occur in tandem throughout the software development cycle. Agile is a broader process and management approach to software development that emphasizes incremental delivery, team collaboration, continual planning, and continual learning.

In this instructor-led, live training (onsite or remote), participants will learn how to write high-quality C applications using a TDD and Agile development approach. Participants will put their knowledge into practice by carrying out a series of hands-on exercises to create a well-designed and well-tested C application.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure development and testing tools needed to carry out TDD
• Design, develop and unit test a C application using a TDD approach
• Apply planning and management practices of Agile development

Audience

• Developers
• Project managers

Format of the Course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

This 5 day course is for developers who wish to write high quality iOS applications in Swift. This is a hands on course which involves writing a number of increasingly complex high quality applications. Delegates will need to have an Apple copmputer with the latest version of OS X and Xcode installed. Delegates wishing to run applications on real devices, rather than emulators, will need to be registered with Apple as iOS developers and have their devices registered.

This course provides a brief introduction to Agile software testing. It deals with foundational test concepts, within the context of Agile (Scrum) development and uses Crispin & Gregory's (More Agile Testing, 2014) Agile Testing Quadrants model as a framework to explore contemporary principles and practices of Agile testing.

Learning Objectives

• What are Unit Tests and how to write them
• How to simplify the tests and have Clean tests too
• When and how to use Test Doubles
• What is TDD and how to practice it
• How to unit test everything in your app, including the views
• Make the quality of your code something better than a matter of faith!

Format:

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

JUnit is a framework to write repeatable tests and do unit testing for Java language.

This instructor-led, live training in the Netherlands teaches participants how to write testable code in the form of testing units to facilitate the diagnosis, isolation, and resolution of bugs. The training walks participants through the creation of a work-ready, testing environment using the PHPUnit testing framework.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Distinguish between good and bad testing units.
• Read and interpret test results.
• Proactively manage and diagnose their code base to reduce bugs.
• Ensure that their code base is fit for continuous integration and deployment.

In this instructor-led, live training in the Netherlands, participants will learn how to use PyTest to write short, maintainable tests that are elegant, expressive and readable. 

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Write readable and maintainable tests without the need for boilerplate code.
• Use the fixture model to write small tests.
• Scale tests up to complex functional testing for applications, packages, and libraries.
• Understand and apply PyTest features such as hooks, assert rewriting and plug-ins.
• Reduce test times by running tests in parallel and across multiple processors.
• Run tests in a continuous integration environment, together with other utilities such as tox, mock, coverage, unittest, doctest and Selenium.
• Use Python to test non-Python applications.

TypeScript is an open source language for building enterprise Javascript applications. It is a strict superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain Javascript and brings static typing and object-oriented development to the language.

This instructor-led, live training introduces TypeScript's unit testing features and frameworks. Participants get a chance to put theory to practice by constructing a collection of unit tests that can be run against real-life applications.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

Course Customization Options

• This course will focus on the frameworks that can be used to unit test a Javascript or Typescript application (Jasmine, Mocha, Jest, Chai, etc.).
• UI frameworks such as React are optional and can be covered if desired.
• To request a customized training for this course, please contact us to arrange.

This instructor-led, live training in the Netherlands (online or onsite) is aimed at software testers who wish to use C programming to create unit tests for C code.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Use unit testing frameworks in C to produce unit tests.
• Script custom C unit tests and add them to a call list.
• Simplify the process of debugging and refactoring code with test-driven development.

This instructor-led, live training in the Netherlands (online or onsite) is aimed at software tester who wish to unit test code functionality using MSTest, xUnit, and nUnit.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Create unit tests using MSTest to test software applications.
• Display test results with CodeLens.
• Understand the different testing tools for Test-Driven Development.

In this instructor-led, live training in the Netherlands, participants will learn about various JavaScript testing frameworks as they step through the creation of a unit test suite for a web application.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Write unit tests in JavaScript using unit test frameworks such as QUnit and Jasmine
• Use frameworks such as Mocha and Chai to implement TDD and BDD

Unit testing is a testing approach that tests individual units of source code by modifying its properties or triggering an event to confirm whether the outcome is as expected.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to write and execute unit tests against a sample .Net application using C#   and Visual Studio.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Use testing frameworks such as NUnit and xUnit.net to create and manage unit test code
• Define and implement a broader test driven development approach to testing
• Adapt the testing framework to extend the test coverage for an application

Audience

• Software test engineers
• Developers

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

This course has been created for test managers, quality assurance staff, testers, software developers, project managers and management in order to explain how the Agile project management frameworks (notably SCRUM) deal with testing.

At the end of the course, each of the delegates will design and execute a test plan for a sample application (it can be an actual client application if available)

Agile Software Testing is a series of testing practice that provides feesback to software quality issues in a timely and continuous manner following the principles of agile development.

Continuous Integration (CI) refers to all developers in a team merging their work several times a day.

Overview

This 2-day course provides a brief introduction to Agile software testing. It deals with foundational test concepts, within the context of Agile (Scrum) development and uses Crispin & Gregory’s (More Agile Testing, 2014) Agile Testing Quadrants model as a framework to explore contemporary principles and practices of Agile testing.

Intended Audience

This course is intended for development teams who want to improve their testing practices in an Agile context.

It is also suitable for those intending to pursue testing as a specific career and is a suitable pre-requisite for the iSQI Certified Agile Tester course.
