Title: Test Driven Development in C/C++ Hands-on
Proposer: James Grenning
Type: Preconference Workshop
Duration: 360 mins
Description:
Test-Driven Development is an important design and problem solving technique that helps software developers improve product quality and the quality of their life. How? By getting your code to do what you think it needs to do and by giving you warning when your design is starting to deteriorate.
This tutorial briefly describes the problems addressed by TDD, as well as the additional challenges and benefits of applying TDD to C and embedded software. This class is not just a show and tell. Bring your laptop with wifi access and a web browser. You will write code.
You will experience the cadence of Test-Driven Development. You will see how it makes sure you know what your code is doing. We'll explore the benefits of test-driving your code. You will test-drive code with dependencies using open source tools CppUTest and CppUMock.
If you've formed an opinion about TDD and not tried it, this tutorial is a great place to start.
