During this course you will explore the TDD cycle and best practices, learn about acceptance and developer TDD, Agile test techniques, and TDD database development. Other topics include how to recognize the importance of TDD documentation, study test-driven development issues, code visibility, the red/green/refactor cycle, and TDD for complex systems. Finally, as an exercise, you will review test-driven development best practices.
