Agile Programming Techniques

January 22 January 24

What is the course like?

Learn how to use agile programming practices to create high-quality systems. During our Agile Programming Techniques course, you will gain hands-on experience and practice with tools and techniques for designing and implementing systems. You will apply specifications written in the form of user examples and unit tests to drive development with test-driven development (TDD), behaviour-driven development (BDD) and acceptance test-driven development (ATDD).

This course is ideal for developers and technical testers wanting a better understanding along with the opportunity to practically apply agile tools and techniques. This course is about quality – in particular, what can developers do to make sure that we are building the right system, and that we are building it the right way.

You’ll gain ICAgile accredited course:

The ICAgile Certified Professional, Agile Programming is granted on the successful completion of this course. This certification is part of the ICAgile Engineering Track along with our Agile Fundamentals and Agile Design and Architecture courses. We offer the complete ICAgile Agile Engineering Track for those looking to become an ICAgile Certified Expert in Agile Engineering (ICE-AE).

You’ll learn:

By the end of this course you will be able to:

  • Write and maintain effective unit tests
  • Refactor code without breaking the observable functionality
  • Identify the seams to add unit tests to legacy codebases
  • Apply test-driven development (TDD) to write tested code
  • Write good specifications/acceptance tests. Automate the acceptance tests
  • Perform software development as an engineering discipline.

Great for:

  • Developers who wish to design and develop systems using agile techniques
  • Technical testers wanting a deeper understanding of test-driven development, behaviour-driven development and acceptance test-driven development.

You’ll need:

To get the most out of this course, you will need to have completed formal agile training such as our Agile Fundamentals course and have a working knowledge of Java or C#.
