Test Driven Development with JavaScript

We want to invite you to the first part of our advent workshop series!

Testing is one of the key building blocks in Software Engineering and this workshop will introduce you to the theory behind testing as well as the Test Driven Development (TDD) paradigm.

Throughout the workshop, we will focus on the following subject areas:

• Popular test frameworks: Jest vs. Mocha / Chai
• Implementation of the Fibonacci function through TDD
• The Red/Green/Refactor approach
• Unit testing of the Fibonacci function
• Stretch goal: Integration testing of APIs

Prerequisites

To properly follow along, we assume a basic understanding of JavaScript. Additionally, we'll make use of Node.JS (https://nodejs.org/en/) and optionally yarn (https://yarnpkg.com/).
