PentaBAR: Test-Driven Development – The Lift – Live Coding Kata

PentaBAR: Test-Driven Development – The Lift – Live Coding Kata

In this PentaBAR episode, Victor Rentea, Independent Trainer & Consultant and Romanian Java Champion, tackles the subject of Test-Driven Development.

Avid code writer for 20+ years and Associate Professor at Politechnica University of Bucharest, Victor has led 7 successful projects in IBM. In his desire to share the passion for Clean Code and Unit Testing, he founded Bucharest Software Craftmanship Community, one of the largest communities of developers in Romania.

In this video, you will learn about the great benefits that come with Test-Driven Development, something that every Agile developer should take on because:

  • It provides a deep understanding of the expected behavior prior to coding
  • It offers a truly robust test coverage
  • It helps skyrocket one’s skillset, as refactoring woes go out the window

Code Katas are a great way to practice the application of TDD to day-to-day problems. This PentaBAR also features The Lift Kata, in a live coding demonstration made by Victor. He will cover the following concepts:

  • Red-Green-Refactor cycle
  • Lots of Refactoring Moves
  • Unit Testing best practices and tricks
