Do you know that unit testing is more of an act of design than verification? What are its benefits? How do we write effective tests? How does unit testing relate to evolutionary design? How does it help you with refactoring? When should you write your tests? What are the types of tests you could write? These are some of the questions that you would ask if you are interested in Unit Testing. What is a better way to learn than practicing it? In this session the attendees will participate in designing and developing a small yet full application. Instead of PowerPoint slides, you will learn from example. The code you help develop will be available for free download on the speaker's web site.

Topics: • Design ideas • Types of Tests • Identifying tasks • Fulfilling tasks • Order of tests • Handling success and failure • Layering of system • Test cases and Test Suite • Using JUnit • Quality of tests • Where to run and how often?

Benefits: • Learn how to write unit tests • Realize its benefits • See how it affects your design • See how you can develop robust system • It will change the way you write code
