Re: Experience with Advanced TDD courses delivered on-site?

Ron, our intent is to teach 4 sessions of 15 people each.  At least that's
how we envision it working so that the sessions can be code intensive
instead of lecture intensive.


Is there an outline of the CSD courses which you and Chet teach so that I
could look at them to see if they might address (or be customized) to the
test driven development challenges we're seeing?


Some of the challenges we've seen have been


   - Database interactions - how to handle database schema version history,
   database volumes, and database operations
   - Multi-component interaction tests (techniques to rapidly restore
   stateful components, etc.)
   - User interface driven tests (when to use them, when to avoid them,
   techniques for managing their brittleness)
   - Performance or throughput related tests
