Unit Testing Tool
Learn the basics of a unit testing tool, including how to write and organize tests, which assert methods may be called, exception
handling within tests, test naming conventions and ways to use the unit testing tool in an integrated development environment
(IDE).

Test-Driven Development
Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a practice for efficiently evolving useful code. While its name implies that it's mostly
about testing, test-driven development is primarily about design: it keeps programmers focused on exactly what they need to
build and helps them avoid over-engineering. Using this technique, programmers write a failing test, write code to pass the
test, refactor the code and... Read more |

Unit Testing Legacy Code
To refactor legacy code, you need good unit tests. To write good unit tests, you need to refactor your legacy code. How do
you get out of such a mess? First, you isolate what it is you would like to unit test and refactor. Next, you use whatever
language is simplest to produce coarse-grained tests for that area of code. Once you've written enough of the coarse-grained
tests, you'll be able to... Read more |

Team-Programming
Whole teams can rapidly learn great programming skills by observing one of our experts pair-programming with a member of your
team. As team members observe the programming on a projector, they may comment, ask questions or volunteer to take the place
of one of the programming pairs.

Evolutionary Design
How does nature evolve organisms and what does that have to do with software
development? If you study nature's approach to engineering, you often find that
highly sophisticated organisms evolve from simple beginnings. For example,
during the earliest growth stages, internal organs are basic but functional and will
mature over time.

Storytest-Driven Development
Storytest-Driven Development involves determining if features of a system work according to a customer's expectations. There
are many ways to implement Storytest-Driven Development, including using XML, Excel or simple languages. A typical challenge
is to empower customers with tools that let them define Storytests (a.k.a. Acceptance Tests) without working with programmers.
Another challenge is ... Read more |

Testing & Refactoring Adoption
The workshop coaches engage participants in a dialogue on adopting Testing & Refactoring in their workplace, including the
following questions: What technical practices will be most difficult to accomplish at our company? How will we test or refactor
specific code? Should we test or refactor our legacy code? What is the best way to transition to these new practices? How
will our new practices... Read more |
