Test-Driven development (TDD) is an essential engineering practice for agile developers. It is at the heart of low-defect Agile software development; its techniques allow incremental development and Emergent Design to flourish, without degrading quality. This software development process relies on the repetition of a very short development cycle: first the developer writes an (initially failing) automated test case that defines a desired improvement or new function, then produces the minimum amount of code to pass that test, and finally refactors the new code to acceptable standards.

In this webinar, Agile Coach, Monica Yap will provide an overview of this practice, explain the pros and cons, walk through a sample of Test-Driven Development in action, and most importantly, will allow you to ask real world questions to address your concerns and challenges in adopting this practice.
