Test-Driven Development Overview (Coursera)

In this introductory course you will get both a full overview of what TDD is, when it can and can't be applied, and what its benefits are for practitioners and organizations. You will also have the opportunity to get hands on with a few fun introductory projects where you can apply what you have learned and experience the benefits of this approach to problem solving yourself.

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Introduction to Test-Driven Development
In this module, we're going to take an introductory look at TDD and define some terms.

WEEK 2
Core Concepts
Get into the rhythm of TDD by practicing the TDD Mantra and following the TDD workflow's phases. See a day in the life of a test-driven developer and put these into practice.

WEEK 3
Existing Types of Testing and the Powerful Assert Statement
In this module, we will review all the existing kind, levels and type of testing. We'll explore where TDD borrows from these and where TDD fits. We'll also introduce the assert statement.

WEEK 4
Hands on Projects for Beginners
This is a series of small python projects that already have requirements that are ready to turn into tests. Sample tests and Sample implementations are also included if you need a little help getting started.

Continuous Delivery & DevOps (Coursera)

Amazon famously delivers new code every 11.6 seconds. Just a few years ago, this was unthinkable: many ‘cutting edge’ firms would release software quarterly. When it comes to digital innovation, velocity is critical and many would say it’s the most reliable determinant of success. Bringing an organization to the state of the art (or even functional capability) in this area requires strong work in a combination of disciplines and a combination of both technical and managerial skills. There is no single cookie-cutter approach for achieving this capability.
