Test Driven Development (TDD) is well known as a strategy for increasing feature correctness and test coverage in a project, but when setup for you, the individual developer, it can also be a powerful tool for writing rock solid code more effectively. In this talk, we’ll introduce TDD, go over how to set it up in a typical JS project, and show you how to use it as a practical tool to help you write better code in a hands-on project.
This is a hands-on workshop for developers with at least some familiarity with JavaScript. We’ll spend a good amount of the time tinkering in an existing JavaScript project and going over realistic use cases for these methodologies.
