Course Overview
Learning the discipline of Test Driven Development (also known as TDD) Using the C++ Programming Language
Test Driven Development is a key discipline every software developer should practice to ensure the quality of their code. In this course I'll show you how to use this discipline in your everyday coding practices to help ensure the quality of your code base.
In this course we’ll be going over:
What is Unit Testing and Test Driven Development and how does it help you.
What is the Google Test testing library and how is it used for writing unit tests in C++.
How to setup some common C++ development environments to use Google Test.
What are some Best Practices for unit testing and Test Driven Development.
We’ll also walk through some hands on example programming sessions using TDD in C++.

Poor.

I completed this course and strongly recommend it! I recommend this course, because its instructor provides an excellent introduction to TDD (test driven development)―especially for C++ developers, although the concepts he presents are programming language neutral/agnostic.

Course was interesting, but sound was pretty bad.

Very good introduction to TDD with GTest. Explains how to set up different IDEs. The Checkout Kata with TDD is explained in depth. The GMock section however feels a bit short and there is no solution for the little coding challenge at the end of this section. Other than that the content is very well presented and one can follow the course very well. Absolutely recommend.
