Fundamentals of Test-Driven Development in Java

Learn TDD skills at your desk in a brand new online workshop!

Developer testing practices are a vital, yet often under-used art. Learning how to write more effective tests is an excellent way to write better designed, more maintainable and more reliable code. It also helps keep development focused on the real requirements, resulting in a higher quality product for the end user. This is a skill that every Java developer needs to master.



Outline

Online TDD Training

This course is an intensive 1-day online workshop, delivered in two half-day sessions, with a stimulating mixture of teaching, live coding demonstrations, and lab exercises. You will learn about the vital modern development best practices of Test-Driven Development and Behaviour-Driven Development, and how to apply them in your own projects. You will gain practical experience with the latest in open source testing tools, including JUnit 4.8, Hamcrest and Mockito. You will also learn how to refactor code to make it easier to maintain and to test, and how to use TDD on your legacy code bases. And plenty of time is reserved for hands-on labs and live coding demonstrations.

The basic course program is outlined here:

  • A gentle Introduction to Test-driven Development and Behaviour-Driven Development
  • Getting started with TDD
  • Continuous Testing in Eclipse with Infinitest
  • JUnit Kung Fu - Fixtures, Hamcrest asserts, Exception testing, Timeouts, Parameterized tests, Rule annotations, writing your own Hamcrest matchers...
  • Using Mocks and Stubs for state-based and interaction-based testing with Mockito
  • Refactoring best practices
  • Test-Driving Legacy Code

Course schedule

The course is delivered as two half-day workshops, and currently scheduled for the following dates:

UK/Europe
May 31 and June 1 9am-1pm London time (10am-2pm CEST time)€495

General Information

Audience

This is a hands-on, practical course designed to teach specialised skills for real-world development situations. It is thus primarily aimed at a developer audience:

  • Java developers of all levels
  • Software architects
  • Technical project managers

Approach

The course is modular and flexible - depending on specific student needs and requests. Through our trainings, you benefit from the wide experience and architectural expertise of our team. We bring that experience to you in an highly interactive, intensely hands-on setting.

Assumptions

We assume participants have a reasonable understanding of Java development as well as a basic understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle.

Lab Work

All our courses are above all practical in nature. We believe that the best way to learn is by doing. So the course contains approximately 60-70% lab work.

What students are saying about the Wakaleo Training courses

  • "Best development course I have been on in a very long time. Will seriously improve our development/build/test lifecycle." - Neil, Software Developer
  • "One of the best and most useful courses I have attended. And they didn't even try to sell me anything!" - Jonathan, Developer
  • "Greatly enjoyed the course. Provided many useful insights on how to introduce improved ways of working and how to incorporate new technology with new and 'legacy' Java projects." - Derek, Technical Team Leader
  • "A well organized course. A 'must' course for serious Java developers. It's not only about the tools to be used in day-to-day development, but also about best methodologies and practices." - Apparao, Software Developer
  • "Gives a very good overall view of the Java development environment. Not just how to write Java code but the 'business end' - how to build, test, deploy, manage and monitor." - Tom, Software Developer
  • "This was a great all round introduction to best practices for development process optimization. I found all of the content very helpful and easy to understand. Many of the techniques and technologies will improve our processes a great deal." - Linton, Developer
  • "John has given a very well-run course, with plenty of demonstrations on bleeding-edge Java tools, which spans over project management, development techniques, testing and the build process." - Wayne Ng, Software Developer
