Test-Driven Development (TDD) with C++ Training Course

Test-Driven Development (TDD) with C++ Training Course by Tonex

Execute TDD in C++ with attention to performance, determinism, and safe memory patterns. You’ll structure tests for complex components and validate contracts that protect critical paths. Build configuration and tooling keep cycles efficient. These practices reinforce cybersecurity by reducing memory errors, undefined behavior, and fragile parsing. They also align development with cybersecurity by proving invariants and boundaries before integration, preserving reliability in safety-critical codebases.

Tonex offers an exemplary Test-Driven Development (TDD) with C++ Training Course, equipping participants with vital skills in software development. Covering principles of TDD, C++ integration, and industry best practices, this course fosters hands-on learning, ensuring participants gain a robust understanding of TDD methodologies to enhance software quality and efficiency.

For Test-Driven Development (TDD) with C++, embedding security requirements into tests from the start surfaces vulnerabilities—buffer overflows, integer wraparounds, unsafe pointer use—before code ships.

TDD turns these checks into living guardrails that catch regressions in input validation, crypto wrappers, and error handling across compilers and platforms.

Integrating static analysis, fuzzing, and dependency/SBOM checks into the red-green-refactor loop strengthens supply-chain hygiene, aligns with CERT C++ practices, and cuts breach risk and remediation cost.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the fundamentals and principles of Test-Driven Development (TDD) in the context of C++ programming.
• Learn how to write effective unit tests using popular C++ testing frameworks.
• Gain proficiency in applying TDD techniques to C++ codebases for improved software quality and maintainability.
• Master the art of refactoring C++ code while following TDD practices.
• Develop the skills to integrate TDD seamlessly into C++ software development workflows.

Audience: This course is tailored for software developers, engineers, and programmers with experience in C++ programming who want to deepen their understanding of Test-Driven Development. It is suitable for both intermediate and experienced C++ developers seeking to enhance their software development practices.
