Test-Driven Development Using Visual Studio 2017 and C# – 1 Day
Course Description – Test-Driven Development Using Visual Studio 2017
The Test-Driven Development Using Visual Studio and C# course is practical, with many example programs and tests written in C#, including a cumulative case study. The goal is to quickly bring you up to speed in doing unit testing in your .NET development projects. The student will receive a comprehensive set of materials, including course notes and all the programming examples.
An emerging software engineering paradigm is test-driven development, where tests are written early and testing is performed continuously during the development process. Problems are discovered early and corrected when they are found. This one-day course for developers explains the methodology of test-driven development and the use of the unit testing framework that comes with Visual Studio 2017, including the free Community version.

- Understand the principles of test-driven development
- Acquire fluency in developing tests using the Visual Studio unit testing framework
- Efficiently exercise test suites using Visual Studio and MSTest
Prerequisites
