In this course students will learn what Test-Driven Development (TDD) is and why people are adopting it as a development methodology. The process of TDD is to write a test for a very small piece of functionality, to develop the code, to run the test, and then to refactor and try again if the test fails. Through lecture, demonstration and hands-on exercises, students will learn for themselves how to move through the TDD development process.

By the end of the class students will be able to:

• Understand the elements of test-driven development
• Be familiar with different test-driven concepts
• Work with testing tools such as Junit, ANT and Maven
• Set up the testing infrastructure
• Understand refactoring best practices
• Test legacy code

Students will receive a copy of Test Driven Development by Example by Kent Beck.
