Test-Driven Development (TDD) training teaches participants how to adopt a test-first approach to software development, where tests are written before the actual code. The course covers the core principles of TDD, including writing failing tests, implementing code to pass the tests, and refactoring for cleaner design. Participants learn how to use testing frameworks, such as JUnit, NUnit, or pytest, to write unit tests that drive the development process. Hands-on exercises focus on writing effective test cases, maintaining a fast feedback loop, and ensuring code quality through continuous testing. By the end of the training, attendees are equipped to apply TDD practices in their own development workflow, resulting in more reliable and maintainable software.

Basic knowledge of software development and programming concepts.
Familiarity with at least one programming language (e.g., Java, Python, C#, PHP, etc.).
No prior experience with Test-Driven Development required.

Upon completion of this course, participants will:

Understand the principles and benefits of Test-Driven Development (TDD).
Learn the TDD cycle: Red-Green-Refactor.
Gain hands-on experience in writing tests before code and developing software incrementally.
Develop skills in writing effective unit tests to improve software quality and maintainability.
Learn how to integrate TDD practices into existing workflows and development processes.

TDD Principles: Understanding of TDD fundamentals and its role in software development.
Red-Green-Refactor Cycle: Ability to implement the TDD cycle effectively for software development.
Unit Testing Best Practices: Skill in writing unit tests that guide the development process.
Incremental Development: Ability to develop software incrementally with confidence.
Test-First Approach: Knowledge of how writing tests first can lead to cleaner, more maintainable code.

Participants will be assessed on:

TDD Understanding: Ability to explain and apply the core concepts of TDD.
Red-Green-Refactor Cycle: Proficiency in following the TDD cycle to write clean, testable code.
Test Writing: Ability to write meaningful and effective unit tests.
Incremental Development: Ability to develop software using the TDD approach.
Refactoring: Understanding of how to refactor code while maintaining test coverage.

Certificate of Completion: Participants who attend all sessions and successfully complete the course assessments will receive a ProgNXTCertificate of Completion for Test-Driven Development (TDD) Essentials Training.

Introduction to TDD and the Red-Green-Refactor Cycle

Introduction to Test-Driven Development (TDD)

What is TDD and why is it important?
The benefits of TDD: improved software design, cleaner code, fewer bugs, faster development.

TDD vs. traditional testing approaches.

The Red-Green-Refactor Cycle

Introduction to the Red-Green-Refactor cycle:

Red: Write a failing test.
Green: Write just enough code to pass the test.
Refactor: Improve the code without changing its behavior.
