TDD Boot Camp attendees will learn about the following topics:

• The TDD mindset
  • Why is TDD important?
  • Red/green/refactor
  • Behavior driven development
  • How TDD helps you design software
  • Why testing first is better than testing after
  • Testing frameworks (e.g. NUnit)
• Writing testable code
  • How to write tests that run fast and are easy to maintain
  • What makes code difficult or impossible to test
  • The dependency inversion principle
• Using a dependency injection framework
  • How to use StructureMap
  • Advanced StructureMap configuration, tips, and tricks (things you need to know how to do if you use StructureMap on a real world project)
• Advanced TDD
  • Single responsibility principle, and how TDD helps you design small classes
  • How to use mocking frameworks (e.g. Moq)
  • How to effectively translate technical specs into tests
  • How to test legacy code
  • Other TDD ninja tricks that we’ve learned over the years

We’ll do plenty of hands-on coding along the way, because there is no substitute for trying it for yourself.

The class will be taught using C#. If you would like to use VB.NET, you are welcome to do the code samples in VB.NET.
