What you will learn:
In this introductory course, you’ll get a complete overview of what Test-Driven Development (TDD) is, when it can and cannot be implemented, and its benefits to developers and organizations. You’ll also have the opportunity to experiment with fun projects where you can apply what you’ve learned and experience the benefits of this approach to problem solving for yourself. It’s recommended that you have a basic knowledge of the Python programming language. Examples and labs use Python.

What you will learn:
To be a skilled developer, you need to understand how to write tests before you put code into production. In this course, we’ll learn about test-driven development in a hands-on way by writing and implementing tests in the first week. PDD starts with good unit tests, so we’ll start there. Topics covered also include translating user specifications into unit tests, implementing the red-green-judgment mantra, and using mocks in Python with the unittest.mock module. By the end of the course, you’ll have covered all the steps of TDD before development.

What you will learn:
In this course, we’ll discuss how to incorporate test-driven development best practices into your programming process. We’ll start by discussing how to improve legacy codebases using Agile methodologies. Next, we’ll explore continuous integration and how to write automated tests in Python. Finally, we’ll apply everything we’ve learned together to write code that includes error handlers, automated tests, and improved functionality.
