Description

TDD & BDD – Design Through Testing. Led by Dave Farley, this course offers a new approach to software engineering where the test writing process guides the entire development path. This course is designed to reduce bugs and system errors in the operational environment by 50%. The main focus of this training is on how to write high-quality tests, not only to ensure the correctness of the code’s performance, but also to improve the structure and architecture of the software. In this course, the instructor teaches students how to use feedback from testing to improve the code design by providing step-by-step guidance and showing practical examples. In this training path, the concepts of TDD and BDD are combined in a way that leads to increased code flexibility and modularity of systems. Contrary to popular belief that testing is a time-consuming process, this course proves that investing time in testing saves time in the long run on complex troubleshooting. This approach helps development teams move forward with more confidence and free themselves from the constraints of old, unchangeable code. Ultimately, learning these skills leads to greater job satisfaction and reduced burnout in software engineers, as they spend more time creating new features than fixing old bugs.

What you will learn

Dramatically reduce errors: Learn techniques that lead to a 60% reduction in bugs in a real production environment.
Flexible code generation: Guide code design through tests to increase system changeability and modularity.
Optimal Design: Learn how to design code that is highly maintainable and adaptable to environmental changes.
Robust testing skills: Gain the ability to write robust tests that are resilient to minor code changes and do not break quickly.
Hearing the voice of code: Using feedback from the test creation process to identify design weaknesses and improve software architecture.
Combining TDD and BDD: A deep understanding of how these two methods work together to improve the final product quality.
Increase development speed: Spend less time debugging and more time developing valuable features for users.
Confidence in change: Building the ability to move forward with the project with complete confidence and freedom from the limitations of legacy systems.

This course is suitable for people who:

Software Engineers: People looking to learn specialized and in-demand skills to advance their career.
Senior programmers: Those who want to reduce maintenance costs on large projects by improving their code design.
Developers dealing with complex code: People who feel that their current code structure is too rigid and inflexible for testing.
Technical team managers: Those who seek to increase team productivity, reduce member burnout, and produce higher-quality software.
