Topic: An Agile Journey

Andy Lawrence is going to talk about what TDD is and the value of it to an organization. There will be no code presented here; we're going to explore the benefits and application of TDD. We're going to talk about the goals of TDD (Hint: it's not "testing"), the other things having tests in places enables, how to get started with an existing code base, and what the testing suite typically looks like. Lastly, TDD is not a panacea, so we're going to talk about some of the myths around TDD.
