Training Summary
Agile software development means producing usable and tested code faster than with traditional methods. In addition to practices aimed at speeding up code production, such as pair programming, agile methods also define practices for improving the quality of the delivered code through testing, such as continuous integration, test first and test-driven development. This course explores the various agile practices for improving the quality of software development through testing and how those practices can be applied to any form of software development whether or not agile approaches are adopted. In this course we will explore Test Driven Development, continuous integration, pair programming, and other methods and techniques introduced by the agile software development approaches.
