This course introduces Java developers to the tools and techniques involved in Test Driven Development. The course is workshop based, with delegates spending the majority of their time applying the techniques they have learnt to sample applications.
Normally the course is delivered using JUnit, TestNG, JMock, Eclipse, Ant and Spring - but other tools and IDE's can be used if required.
Prerequisites
Delegates should be experienced and confident Java developers.
