🚀 Course Title: Practical Test Driven Development for Java Programmers

🎓 Headline: A truly practical approach to the fundamentals of test driven development in Java, featuring JUnit and Mockito!

Welcome to "Practical Test Driven Development for Java Programmers" – your ultimate guide to mastering TDD with JUnit 4 & JUnit 5, along with the powerful Mockito framework. In this course, Matt Greencroft will take you beyond the basics and deep into the world of writing robust and maintainable Java applications by leveraging the test-first approach.

📚 Course Description:

This isn't just another theoretical deep dive into Test Driven Development (TDD). It's a hands-on journey designed for Java programmers who aspire to:

• Understand TDD Fundamentals: Learn the core concepts of TDD and how they can lead to better-designed, more testable code.
• Apply TDD in Real-World Scenarios: Work through project examples that reflect real-world challenges and learn how TDD can be applied to solve them effectively.
• Master Mocking with Mockito: Gain expert knowledge on using Mockito to write clean, maintainable unit tests without the overhead of full system setup or integration.
• Tackle Legacy Code: Discover strategies for integrating TDD into existing codebases that lack automated tests.
• Enhance Your Toolkit: Learn about JUnit 4 and JUnit 5, and understand their differences and when to use each version. This course is tailored for Java versions 7, 8, and 11 and above.

Key Takeaways:

• Practical Skills: Transition from a reactive to a proactive approach in your development cycle by implementing TDD practices.
• Real-World Examples: Apply what you learn with hands-on exercises that mirror real-world projects and challenges.
• Best Practices: Learn from an experienced instructor who will guide you through the best practices of writing effective tests.
