Object Mentor, Inc. 3-day training on TDD and Refactoring
This course shows you how to let unit tests drive your design. You will learn to use a simple unit-testing tool. You will experience the regular feedback and progress of letting tests drive your development. The course teaches you how to keep the design clean and simple through refactoring. You will transform unreadable code into readable/well-structured code and use techniques needed to build good software iteratively.
In a hands-on environment, you will learn how to approach design from the outside-in, from the point of view of a test, and satisfy those tests with running code while learning how tests can be used to incrementally grow well-factored, easily maintainable systems.
