Abstract This workshop will cover the principles of unit testing using test-driven development (TDD), a popular approach that integrates unit testing with development. TDD is central technical practice that enforces writing tests before production code in an incremental manner, providing the developer with a safety net for implementing new functionality and refactoring code. It makes developers directly responsible for the quality of the code that they write. By the end of the workshop, students will be able to write unit tests using Java and Junit following a small set of principles, express requirements and design decisions in the form of tests, and develop testable code by applying TDD. Students will practice theory by applying the material covered in the context of small examples, both individually and as a group. Prerequisites: (1) intermediate knowledge of Java; (2) familiarity with object-oriented programming; (3) basic knowledge of git. Level: all levels
