This two-day course introduces participants to several software development techniques guaranteed to help improve your software’s design and overall quality. Participants will be introduced to test driven design (TDD), refactoring, test double usage, and dependency injection (DI). A series of hands-on exercises are used to reinforce the concepts presented, allowing participants to try the new development techniques first hand.

Objectives (tools and techniques participants will learn)

Effective use of test driven design (TDD) to drive development.
The proper use of refactoring to help cultivate a resilient and communicative code base.
The value of test doubles usage within your TDD efforts. Mocking frameworks will be introduced.
The value of the dependency injection (DI) design pattern usage.

Audience (who will benefit)

Developers and managers interested in jump starting their TDD and refactoring efforts or improving their existing TDD behaviors with the use of test doubles and dependency injection.
