Course details

Every software developer wants to ship high-quality applications. Test-driven development (TDD) is a key discipline that can help you enhance your development process—and, in turn, your code base—by ensuring that crashes and bugs are addressed early on. In this course, join Richard Wells as he covers unit testing and TDD for C++ projects. Richard provides an overview of both unit testing and TDD, explaining why both are crucial for developers. He also shows how to set up your development environment for TDD and goes over the Google Test C++ unit-testing framework. Throughout the course, he shares best practices and provides examples and test cases that can help you gain a practical understanding of TTD in C++.

    I thought this was a well-rounded intro to TDD using C++. I really appreciated how the instructor used Eclipse IDE, which works on any platform (Linux in my case, but also Windows and Mac). Two areas perhaps needing improvement. 1) In order to get credit for completing the course, you are forced to watch three long videos on setting up Google Test in Eclipse, VisualStudio on Windows, and XCode on Mac. This is crazy. Is there a way to make those three videos optional? Maybe require watching 1 of 3? 2) The Google Mock section is one, long 15-minute coding session. I had a hard time understanding the "why" behind some of the Mock example. I could see the "what", because the instructor is typing away, going through the TDD motions. I would have preferred a more contrived, less abstract example, broken into sections explaining the "why".
