Want to write high-quality, maintainable code with confidence? This full-day, hands-on workshop introduces you to Test-Driven Development (TDD), a powerful methodology that revolutionises the way you approach software development. By writing your tests first, you’ll gain clarity on your code’s requirements, build robust and reliable applications, and significantly reduce the time spent debugging. TDD is not just a testing practice; it’s a design tool that forces you to think about the structure and clarity of your code before you write it.

We’ll guide you through the Red, Green, Refactor cycle, a core TDD workflow. You’ll apply these principles to classic programming katas like FizzBuzz, Leap Year Calculator, and the Bowling Game Score Kata. We’ll start with small applications and progressively tackle more complex logic, including the use of test doubles to handle dependencies.

The workshop is designed to be language-agnostic; the concepts and techniques you learn are universal. Our instructor will support you in applying TDD with a variety of languages and testing frameworks. To maximise learning and foster a collaborative environment, we strongly encourage pair programming during the practical sessions. This allows you to share knowledge, get instant support, and practice new techniques together.

Leave this workshop with the foundational skills to integrate TDD into your development process and write code that is not only functional but also elegantly designed and thoroughly tested.
