Unit testing and Test Driven Development (TDD) are known as the most effective software practices. Developers who write unit tests have less bugs, fix those bugs faster, and speed up development as a whole. Developers who TDD write testable and maintainable code.
This 2-day workshop will introduce developers to unit testing and TDD tools and techniques.
The workshop is intended for: Software developers and team leaders.
Workshop length: 2 days.
