Certified Scrum Developer Training

Program overview

This program introduces Agile Values & Principles, Scrum Framework, Acceptance Test Driven Development, Behavior Driven Development, Test Driven Development, Refactoring, Emergent Design, Agile Architecture, Collaboration, and refactoring techniques to the audience and follows a life cycle approach where participants get to learn how to practice these in real life projects. Participants learn to implement TDD on a project developing in either java, .net, ruby, python or C++ framework. Workshop also covers how to effectively work on legacy code and break dependencies. Expected business outcome is readable, maintainable code going forward as well reduction is defects.

Key Learning Outcomes

  • Introduction to Scrum Framework, Elements of Scrum
  • Test Driven Development – why, what and how
  • TDD Cycle – Red, Green and Refactor
  • Drive the development (design and implementation) of a User Story
  • Learn concept of Emergent Design and why emergent design
  • How TDD helps you design software
  • Why testing first is better than testing after
  • Overview of Refactoring, Clean Code principle and Refactoring to Patterns
  • Software design – going deeper in SOLID design Principles
  • How to use mocking frameworks
  • Behavior Driven Development using SpecFlow/Cucumber
  • Specification by Examples using Gherkin language
  • Writing Scenarios and Scenario Outlines
  • Preparing Steps using xUnit framework
  • Difference between TDD and BDD
  • How to setup BDD practices within Scrum team

Key Learning Activities

Hands-on activities (60-70%) and discussion on mentioned topics (30-40%). Hands-on activities include writing unit test, code, writing examples and some group creativity activities.

Target Audience

Development team members including developers, testers, architects, leads and scrum masters.

Prerequisites

Laptops/Desktops with required software and internet connection. Software will be provided by facilitator.
