Test-Driven Development
Test-Driven Development is a proven way of developing software quickly and purposefully. It involves first writing a failing test and then writing only as much productive code as is needed to satisfy that test. If used correctly, this results in clean code that is 100% tested.
With TDD, one does not need to plan the software design ahead, but the design emerges while developing the software. If you realize that the design could be improved, you refactor the code, secured by the existing tests. This is called the red/green/refactor cycle.
In this training, you will learn about test-driven programming (TDD) and experience directly in mob programming how to proceed and what to look out for.
- You understand the benefits of Test First development
- You can write appropriate guiding tests
- You know the Red/Green/Refactor cycle and can develop software test-driven
This training is aimed at participants who program PHP professionally and have always been unhappy about writing too few tests. The training is not necessarily about promoting TDD as the only true way to develop software, but about recognising the advantages of this approach and being able to switch between methodologies as needed.
Prerequisites are practical experience with PHPUnit and knowledge of object-oriented programming in PHP. The necessary basics are taught in Advanced PHPUnit and Advanced OOP.

Work Assignment
In order to directly gain your own practical experience, you will work on your work assignment in your own time until the next online session.
Work assignments are designed to take 1 to 2 hours to complete. You decide whether you work on the exercises alone or in a work group. Forming a work group with another training participant you have never met before can be an interesting and instructive experience.
Of course, we will not leave you alone with questions about your work assignments. Between the online sessions, you will receive support via e-mail from the trainer on all questions regarding the previous training content and the work assignments.
-
At the latest until the day before the next online session, you can send your solution to the trainer by e-mail. At the beginning of the next online session, examples selected from all submissions will be discussed and improved by the trainer.
-
Red
- Joint review of selected work assignments (ca. 30 min)
- Q and A (ca. 30 min)
- Getting started with a guiding test (ca. 30 min)
- Mob Programming: How much test is needed for the next step? (ca. 45 min)
- Discussion of the work assignment (ca. 15 min)
