TDD Workshop. (http://www.codemanship.co.uk/tddworkshop.html)

This jam-packed and budget-friendly 1-day workshop introduces novices to the fundamental practices of TDD, as well as stretching experienced practitioners with more advanced techniques like Responsibility-driven Design using Mock Objects. The innovative format focuses on building habits for effective TDD and works towards creating a personal practice regime that has been successfully applied at organisations like the BBC and City Index.

AM - We introduce the basic TDD practices, and focus on 13 habits for effective TDD, and you will get practical, hands-on experience applying them through a series of code “katas” or exercises.

PM - We look at the use of test doubles like stubs, fakes and mocks. You will learn about Responsibility-driven Design and the “Tell, Don’t Ask” style of OO design. You will design and implement code using top-down TDD and mock objects to achieve a good OO design.

Workshop can be tackled in any OO programming language, but requires at least 2 attendees can use the same programming language for pairing. Some basic automated refactoring tools are recommended also. Please be advised, we do not provide training in the use of specific unit testing or mock object frameworks.

Date: Saturday April 20

Location: Waterloo, London
