Goals and Benefits
Test-driven development is a process in which the developer writes a test before writing the code. This process forces the developer to think carefully about what the code to be tested actually does, as well as giving the developer a means to refactor the code with the assurance that the code will not break.

This two-day course will introduce you to the concepts of Test-Driven Development, the cycle of writing tests, writing code, refactoring, and retesting. During the two days, we will discuss various concepts and tools that will assist you in writing fast and robust code.

• Clean Code
• Unit testing
• Mocks – Stubs
• Dependency Injection
• Code decoupling
• Model – View – ViewModel
• Omarbetning av
• Various tools will be used to assist. Examples:
  • TestInsight
  • DUnit / DUnit 2 / DUnitX

Learning Outcomes

• Understand the thought process and steps involved during a typical test-driven session.
• Drive the development (design and implementation) of a User Story using unit tests.
• Discover improved confidence and increase in development speed by writing automated tests first!
• Learn various automated refactoring techniques and strategies to carefully clean the identified code smells.
• Practice key techniques to break coupling between classes and micro-test each component independently.
• Incrementally transform complex and difficult classes into readable, well-structured, and well-designed code, while keeping them running at all times

Audience/Participants/Previous knowledge
The target for this course is developers who want to learn more about TDD and also develop robust code. The attendees should have a working knowledge of development with Delphi

Practical Exercises
Throughout the course, there will be a mix of theoretical teaching (projector and whiteboard) and practical exercises, with as much hands-on as possible. The course material is written in English. The course is held in English.

Kursledare
The course is created and held by Jens Fudge. Jens has more than 20 years of experience of Delphi and arranging the training.

Roland Bengtsson System developer at Attracs, Finland

“Presenter was superbly good and clear, very good lecturer. I would attend to any course of Jens Fudge, on any topic”.

“Den här kursen om testdriven utveckling svarade väl upp på mina förväntningar och jag kan varmt rekommendera den. Kunnig kursledare, bra temp och bra omfattning eftersom den också inkluderade tekniker såsom code injection, mock, spring4d, mvvm, decoupling etc.”
-Rickard Engberg, senior utvecklare på Handelsbanken
