Benefits:
- Each day of this course is equivalent to roughly two weeks of self-training in TDD
- Imagine each of your developers went through their first 50 days of TDD led by a skilled and experienced teacher by their side - that’s the benefit you’d gain from this course.
- The first 50 days in TDD are the hardest - they present the most challenges and learning curve, and they can cement the wrong techniques if not done right. The first 50 days are the make-or-break effort that helps decide whether TDD will stay or fail in the organization.
- Don’t leave it up to chance.
