Test-Driven Development in JavaScript #1 - The TDD Cycle

Training and coaching in the technical disciplines that make sustainable software innovation possible

Codemanship Ltd

A hands-on intro to this foundational Agile practice

Test-Driven Development (TDD) has been growing in popularity for more than 20 years. It's been proven to help us deliver software that's more reliable and more maintainable, and to enable us to sustain the pace of delivery. These days, the best employers demand TDD skills.

This 90-minute introduction to TDD will give you practical guidance and kick-start your journey towards mastering the practice.

Delivered online (through zoom.us, which is available on Windows, MacOS and Linux machines) with a live instructor who has decades of TDD and teaching experience, this series of workshops will give you a road map for further learning and practice.

In this introductory workshop, you will learn about, and gain experience with the guidance of our expert instructor, in:<ul><li>The steps of the TDD cycle &amp; how to triangulate designs with tests</li></ul><ol><li>Red Light</li><li>Green Light</li><li>Refactor</li></ol>12:15 - 12:30 - Joining &amp; Welcome12:30 - 12:50 - Demonstration by Jason Gorman13:00 - 13:50 - Exercise13:50 - 14:00 - Recap
