Test Driven Dvlmt (JavaScript)

Catalog description

Programmers shouldn’t have to guess whether the software is working correctly. They should be able to prove it, every step of the way. A formal test-driven development (TDD) process allows programmers to build testing into their daily routine. They can run tests many times a day, getting instant feedback on the quality of the code. This course explains how to adopt a TDD mindset and process—vital skills for all modern software developers. Find out what makes a good test, why programmers should be more interested in failure than success, and how to measure and repeatedly run tests. Together students will explore the jargon: test suites, test harnesses, mock and stub objects, and more, how TDD is used in the most common programming languages, TDD environments, and what tools/frameworks exist to help programmers succeed.
