This intensive course provides an overview and hands-on experience of the critical test types performed during the lifetime of a project. Everything is testable. However, we pay attention to the ROI in terms of testing benefits and put this in the context of XP development.

Modern “incremental” testing (as well as TDD) is presented, based on the JUnit /HttpUnit/Java testing philosophy, together with more conventional forms of test. Tools for managing and automating software test are presented, and attendees will gain hands-on experience in their practical use.

The integration of metrics, testing, designing for testability and modern development techniques will enable attendees to deliver quality products with confidence.
