Mastering Test-Driven Development (TDD) in C#

"Test-Driven Development changed the way I write code." Have you been around Test-Driven Development (TDD) practitioners? So, you have heard this before.

    They like to brag about TDD benefits such as:

    • fewer bugs
    • productivity gains
    • code easier to maintain
    • stress-free developer life
    • abnormal level of confidence in code

    I know it sounds too good to be true. But, few practices have the label "Transformational" used as often as TDD.

    But let's talk about the question that's on your mind: If TDD is so good, why is it not widely adopted?

    Although TDD is a simple concept, it is hard to master.
    But don't worry about that. This Workshop will take you there.

    At the end of this Workshop you will be able to:

    • Understand the steps involved during a TDD session.
    • Drive the development using automated tests.
    • Test-drive code with External Dependencies.
    • Use refactoring techniques to improve code safely.
    • Write long-lasting tests resilient to changes.
    • Be successful with TDD in the context of a Team.
    • Confidently evolve and maintain legacy applications using TDD.

    All using C# and your favourite tools.
    I risk saying that at the end of this, you might become test-addicted.

    Is this Workshop for you?
    Do you want to improve your tests and code? If so, this Workshop is for you.

    If you have built C# .NET applications and have written unit tests in the past, you know all that's needed.

    I believe in learning through experience. So, you can expect two days of hands-on and collaboration moments. Warning: This is not a lecture-type workshop, so come ready to participate actively.

    What will you need?
    I'm a strong believer you should learn using your favourite day-to-day tools.
    So, in this Workshop, you only need:

    • Your favourite IDE (Visual Studio, JetBrains Rider, VS Code)
    • .NET 8
    • Docker (no need for Kubernetes)
