Closing the gap with Test-Driven Development (TDD)

In this session, Jan will give a short introduction to how Test-Driven Development (TDD) works and how we apply it at Zuhlke and then see some live coding example of how to use TDD on an often insufficiently tested part of applications: logging

This is to manage the complexity in software development projects and maintain our ability to react to changing requirements, it is important to be able to continously verify that our code works as expected. TDD offers one way to define how our software is supposed to work and drive an iterative approach to extending and improving code.

Speaker (Jan Schnegotzki)
