Learn Agile Java development Best Practices: Unit Testing, Continuous Integration, Refactoring and more...
Our Test-Driven Development with Java training course is aimed at individuals and teams who are transitioning from developing Java applications using more traditional methods such as the Waterfall model. You'll get hands-on Unit Testing experience with tools such as jUnit, and continuous integration and build automation with Jenkins, SVN and Maven.
Test Driven Development (TDD) is synoymous with Agile software development, and as its name suggests, promotes a "test-first" mentality. Test Driven Development aims to produce better code from the outset, driving towards more efficient and leaner software, getting to market faster, and with less time spent fixing bugs after release.
If you are interested in custom / on-site Test Driven Development with Java training for any size of team, please get in touch - we would be glad to help build a course that meets your learning requirements.
We can take into account your existing technical skills, preferred development tools, project requirements and timeframes, and specific topics of interest to tailor the most relevant and focussed course for you.
By the end of this course, you will have learnt about:
- TDD Essentials
- Refactoring Code
- Unit Testing with jUnit
- Decoupling Test Data from Test Code
- Test Automation
- Continuous Integration

"I, along with three colleagues, came on the Agile course. The training was fantastic. I have limited Agile knowledge and this helped answer all the questions I had, in an impartial and helpful way. I learned more about Scrum than I have done in the past and heard of different frameworks that I didn’t know existed and much of this was down to the instructor: his approach, style and knowledge. Please pass on my thanks and I cannot recommend Framework highly enough based on this session."

"I engaged with Framework to support a department-wide transition to Agile Development Practices. The Kick-start programme provided training for the larger organisation, hands-on role and tool-specific training and follow-up coaching. The Agile adoption was and continues to be a success. Scrum is now bedded in and we are making full use of JIRA. Framework's expertise and flexibility made this a very positive experience throughout."
