Do you want to take your technical testing skills to the next level? Are you trying to stay relevant on an agile team where testing is shifting to the left on the project timeline? Do you want to help your organization reap the full benefits of testing earlier? This course teaches you the fundamentals of unit testing so you can find bugs as soon as they happen and do more thorough, targeted testing during software development. You'll learn how to apply program-based techniques such as testing by looking, automated unit testing, mocking, and code coverage analysis. Worried that you may not have the technical skills for this workshop? Don't be! The first session is introductory—for everyone of all programming skill levels. You'll get exposure to core concepts and constructs used in structured programming, and develop technical skills through a set of practical code-based testing exercises. You'll then go beyond the basics of unit testing and learn how to design tests that cover multiple branches, independent paths, loops, and data flow conditions. Discover how to apply these techniques to different application tiers, ranging from the user interface to the data access layer, and walk through strategies for integration and service-level testing. Before the end of the workshop, you'll have the opportunity to engage in special topics like test-driven development, mutation testing, and change impact analysis. Have specific technology-facing testing needs? Let us know and we'll see if we can incorporate it into your instance of the course.
