What you'll learn
Software bugs, regressions, and brittle systems can make development feel unpredictable and risky. In this course, Test-driven Development (TDD) Foundations, you’ll gain the ability to write reliable, testable code with confidence. First, you’ll explore the roots of TDD and how it acts as a quality firewall through concepts like the Triple-A pattern and the shift-left mindset. Next, you’ll discover how to apply the Red-Green-Refactor cycle in real-world scenarios, including working with legacy code. Finally, you’ll learn how to align testing strategies with business value, reduce technical debt, and introduce TDD practices across your team or organization. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of TDD needed to build maintainable software while minimizing regressions and uncertainty.
