Learn Test Driven Development in Java

The instructor speaks in 'bursts' - blurting a few words followed by long pauses. This style of speaking tends to put me to sleep. I do like the hands on, teaching by example approach.

Pretty good. I understood the instructor well. Some of the class diagrams were small and difficult to see, but if I viewed the video in full screen mode it was fine. The content was pretty good and explained very well. However I would have liked a little bit more detail about TDD itself (e.g. what are Detroit and London style TDDs and what is the difference ? Are there specific tests we should be making, like testing for a string length exactly equal to 17 you should probably test length = 16 and length = 18, etc.). Other than that, overall is was pretty good.

He definitely has the experience and potential to make this a 5-star course, but just left us wanting a little bit more of everything... but otherwise I would like to see him contribute more courses!

A great intro to TDD. Near the latter end of the class, the instructor goes through many types of dos and don'ts and i think the class would be greatly improved if clear examples were talked through for each one. Other than that, a good, quick class.

Accent quite difficult to understand plus the course is mainly the instructor talking. No code shared with students. So not useful for me :-(

I like to learn with examples, audio, and visual. I felt as the video had very little visual content which failed to hold my attention.

I personally think there's something lacking in the course. Nevertheless, I appreciated the effort of the author to convey his ideas of Test-Driven Development in Java as much as possible. I already have an idea of Test-Driven Development before buying this course firsthand by reading books and practicing my learnings through my newer projects. So perhaps that's the reason why I find the content lacking to some extent. Also, I have some problems with the pace of the presenter. While I love fast-paced explanations, there are times that it's hard to understand what he's saying. It might be perhaps because of his accent. Overall, I can recommend this to beginners. But after that try to supplement your TDD learnings by reading Roy Osherove's books about TDD. It has richer content and he introduced lots of strategies that will further enhance your TDD techniques.

Wished there were more hands on activities after learning about the test doubles, instead of the code all appearing at once for you. It's good to explain the concept of stubs, fakes, mocks. But hopefully by the next lecture, we actually see one from scratch and implemented as well as the thought process. That's what I wish I had gained. In the beginning was very good where there was a live demo of a TDD approach. But when introducing the test doubles and everything after that went down hill as in comprehension. I almost slept =/. Need it to be more interactive.

Great Course. excellent examples for you to code along to. my only ask would be to teach something, show an example, then have the user go off and do it on their own giving them a few hints, and then discuss the answer in another video.

Very well explained ground concepts of TDD, it's a concise and straight forward introduction. It's a quick start for beginners on TDD. It doesn't present practical challenges, it's more conceptual, it suggests practising after this course to get up to speed. It would be great though if a sequence of this course could be created for advanced users of TDD.

Clear explanation and examples of TDD aspects. Also appreciated is the when/when not to use TDD section, and the anti-patterns. Very useful and applicable info all around. I will undoubtedly refer to this course material again in finally transitioning to the TDD paradigm.

Initial TDD approach for the Calculator was very helpful. Test doubles explanation was like a normal Unit testing way and could have been better with TDD approach. Could you please explain a real time scenario in complete TDD way.

This course is good but I would like to see more real-life examples. Maybe it is worth to say more about test frameworks like Mockito and/or PowerMock

Great tutorial! But as the tutorial needs to be addressed to global audiences, the English needs to much simpler and at a little slow pace. It can more be engaging. The tone is monotonous. Seems we are sitting in a classroom.

The course content is awesome, but the audio quality prevents using any sort of speed increase on the videos. Most videos will at least do a 1.5 speed with little skipping. This one is barely usable at 1.25.
