Test-Driven Development (TDD)

Our training introduces participants to one of the engineering practices of agile development - test-driven development. It offers both a theoretical overview of unit testing as well as exercises where participants can practice what they learned. It is useful for junior developers, regardless of the methodologies used in the project they are involved or will be involved in.
