As teams constantly develop small incremental features by adding, modifying, refactoring, and re-designing existing software, many challenges emerges with each and every iteration. Among these challenges is ensuring previously delivered functionality is still correct and newly created functionality works as expected within a single iteration.

Test Driven Development (TDD) can help address these issues with greater safety and confidence while supporting the team to create better quality software and simpler designs. TDD is built on a set of values that testing and quality are paramount, change is expected and both are constantly embraced.

In this web seminar, we will discuss these benefits, the TDD Cycle, how to get started and challenges facing teams adopting TDD.
