Course Description
Welcome to Dr. Surlys School for Mad Scientists!
Unit Testing and Test Driven Development help smart, capable developers like you create robust, reliable, and maintainable software that lets you sleep soundly at night. In this course you will apply these concepts to embedded code and system software in C.
This course introduces the Unity framework, key principles, and a variety of techniques so that you can apply Unit Testing and Test Driven Development in complex and low-level C code. Once youve completed this material or if youre already familiar with TDD and xUnit frameworks our course Interaction Testing, Mocking & Embedded Software in C is a great next step.
Dr. Surlys School for Mad ScientistsWhen youre trying to take over the world you learn two things quite quickly. First, you end up building lots of technology like death rays and such that requires high quality firmware. Second, minions, climate-altering satellites, and lairs are expensive. While Dr. Surlys lab has become quite proficient at software design and testing, supplemental revenue to fund all manner of villainy is a necessary evil. Its all part of the standard world domination business model, and you get to benefit.
In This Course You Will:
Develop in C using Test Driven Development. Write real, executable tests on your first day.
Learn concepts from Agile, XP, Scrum, and Lean practices for producing well designed, high quality, scope-managed, and self-documented code.
Utilize the free, open source tool Unity in real-world testing scenarios. No toy examples.
Follow us through real-world programming examples and see techniques and patterns for unit testing tricky code.
Encounter big idea philosophies for process, design, and testing.
Apply your new skills to challenging practice problems.
Connect with a supportive community.
Learn How To Apply Unit Testing To Your Embedded and System C SoftwareYou will learn skills that have become staples in higher level languages but are sadly underutilized in the C world. In particular, you will learn to write unit tests in the uniquely challenging setting of embedded and system software.
Of course, the test-driven techniques you will learn produce code that enables thorough, smart testing. But, a happy side effect of TDD is code that tends to adhere to generally good design principles. You wont only be learning testing in this course but also good design.
