A Practical Introduction to Test-Driven Development is a comprehensive course that equips developers with the essential skills and best practices for writing effective tests before code deployment. Throughout this hands-on course, participants will delve into the principles of Test-Driven Development (TDD) and gain practical experience in writing unit tests, translating user specifications into testable assertions, and utilizing mocks in Python with the unittest.mock module.
The course comprises five modules that progressively guide learners through the fundamentals of TDD, unit testing best practices, writing tests for TDD, the Red-Green-Refactor cycle, and the power of mocks. Participants will engage in activities such as writing unittest TestCases, cleaning up test code, breaking down complex requirements, and implementing the Red-Green-Refactor mantra in practical examples. The comprehensive curriculum also covers the application of mocks, the dangers of mocking away dependencies, and the integration of mocks with TDD.
By the end of the course, participants will have acquired a solid understanding of TDD principles and will be adept at writing effective tests, applying best practices, and leveraging mocks to enhance the reliability and efficiency of their code. With its emphasis on practical application and real-world scenarios, this course is an indispensable resource for developers aiming to enhance their testing skills and adopt a TDD approach in their development process.
