Many managers of software development organizations complaint about the software quality – defects, difficult to change, difficult to maintain (others do not understand the code). Some organizations tried to implement code review but the result was not very good. From our experience, pair programming , when properly implemented, is an effective way to address the software quality issues. This course covers all essentials of Pair Programming &Test Driven Development in order to improve the software (coding) quality.

Learning objectives:

Understand the principals of  Pair Programming and TDD, and , after this training, can start to use Pair Programming and TDD in the work
