Workshop: Test First Immersion Workshop (Java)

Location:

  • Garden B
Level: 
Intermediate

When:

  • Thursday
9:00am - 4:00pm

Prerequisites

  • Some experience in writing Java code & tests
  • Laptop with IDE (preferably IntelliJ IDEA)
  • Workshop project loaded into IDEA (link to GitHub project will be provided before the workshop)

Are you a Java engineer eager to improve your skill in writing great tests? In this workshop you will:

  • get excited to try out and practice "test first" approach to designing and implementing features
  • adopt practical Java tactics to create beautiful, highly maintainable unit tests
  • drill refactoring needed to keep the code easy to test
  • learn IntelliJ IDEA tricks that streamline test first development

Out of scope:

  • writing integration tests
  • working with 3rd party APIs and frameworks. In this workshop we use Java and JUnit
  • mocking (although I love the taste of Mockito)

Method of Instruction: Hands-on pair programming workshop, started with a short lecture and completed with team code review

Transfer %: 30/70 knowledge/Skill-Building
