Advanced TDD with Swift Unleash your TDD Superpowers

Date: March 12-13, 2020
Pre-Day: Februar 28, 2020 (Remote)
Location: Hotel Ibis City, Linz, Austria

Learn advanced test driven development of iOS apps in this fun, high-energy, hands-on training!

You know a bit of TDD, but you struggle to use it in “real-life situations”? This training is for you. We will show you advanced techniques for test-driving iOS apps and getting started with legacy code (see below).

And if you want to even practice the basics again, don’t worry: We will teach a third day, two weeks before the main event, where we will bring you up-to-speed.

In two or three days, you will learn together with a group of fellow iOS developers…

Pre-Day

In the main training, we expect you to know the basics of TDD and to also have some practice. Not sure if that applies to you? Or you want to practice the basics again, with a motivated group of fellow developers?

Learn the basics of test-driven development with Swift, or practice them again.

• How test-driven development works, especially in Swift
• How to write good unit tests
• What pitfalls you should avoid
• How test-driven development can help you find software design problems

Remote Training: We will do this pre-day two weeks before the main training. To make it easier for you to make your travel arrangements, the pre-day will be a video call. We can still write code together - We did remote technical trainings before, and they worked well.

Main Training

• How to design modular systems where each part can be tested
• How to practice evolutionary software design, guided by tests
• How to solve testing challenges that are inherent in iOS development (Controllers, app delegates, singletons, layouts, …)
• When and how to refactor in safe-to-fail, reversible steps
• How and why to take smaller steps
• How to test the interaction of your system with the outside world, e.g. using REST APIs
• How to test closures and how to test with closures
• How to deal with legacy code

We will spend a lot of time doing hands-on practice and discussing different approaches and trade-offs. So, you will not only learn together with each other, but also from each other. And from your Trainers Rene Pirringer, Jon Reid and David Tanzer.

Rene Pirringer has more than 8 years of experience developing applications for iOS. He discovered test-driven development as a way to reduce development complexity and accidental defects. He uses close to 100% of the time and does conference talks and workshops about this topic.

Jon Reid is the author of iOS Unit Testing by Example: XCTest Tips and Techniques Using Swift. He started learning TDD 18 years ago, and has been using it for iOS development for 9 years. Jon teaches and coaches iOS developers in TDD and Unit Testing through his consultancy Quality Coding, Inc.

David Tanzer teaches uses TDD to program in Java and JavaScript. He teaches "TDD" trainings and "Agile Engineering Practices" trainings. He has been following "brain-friendly learning" and "accelerated learning" for a few years now and recently became Certified "Training from the Back of the Room" Practitioner and "Training from the Back of the Room" Certified Trainer.
