Synopsis

Test-Driven Development (TDD) goes beyond unit testing by transforming the act of writing tests into detailed software design. TDD serves as a bridge between high-level design and low-level design, or code design. Through test-driven development and design, programmers learn how to produce systems of objects that are easier to understand and learn, more appropriate to the requirements at hand, and more resilient to change. Additionally, by introducing thorough testing early into the process, bugs are found and fixed quicker, reducing cost, increasing predictability and driving better software. The first session will introduce the fundamentals of test-driven development practices and development methodology and show how integrate these principles into your projects today using NUnit and Visual Studio .NET. In the second session, attendees will learn how to apply TDD’s principles in an interactive, hands-on workshop. Attendees are encouraged to bring laptops so that they can participate in the hands-on workshop. Attendees without laptops will still be able to follow along with the workshop. All Attendees will receive a CD with the sample code from the workshop and free testing tools. The workshop covers the following topics: Test-driven development process Test-first programming Refactoring Mock objects Inversion of Control (IoC) Dependency Injection (DI) Design and patterns for testability Code metrics Attendees who plan to bring laptops to the event may prepare their machines in advance by downloading and installing the following tools: NUnit Test-Driven .NET NMock

The poop has hit the propeller for Microsoft over the past few days in regards to its Guidelines for Test-Driven Development article published on its Microsoft Developer Network portal (MSDN). Faced with a critical decision of innovation over stagnation, Microsoft has cowered into the old familiar waterfall approaches. Agile community notables chime in.
