Abstract
Test-Driven Development is a quality-oriented programming technique that helps you grow your software in small steps.
As a developer, you will write automated code-level unit tests that help you build the software right. As a tester, you will supply automated system-level acceptance tests
that help the developers build the right software. In addition, both kinds of tests drive the software development cycle.
Working this way has a number of benefits, among them tremendous reduction of your programming stress by enabling you to change any code in the system with confidence.
This tutorial will teach you first-hand experience with required development techniques, such as unit testing, test-first programming, refactoring, acceptance testing, and
mock objects.
Important : Please bring along a notebook with your favorite Java development environment. You may arrange to bring one computer per two programmers.
