Software Engineering Techniques and Practices

Teaching Test-Driven Development (TDD) to the students is challenging. TDD is best learned when it is actually performed rather than read about. Especially when the students are novice to TDD, starting by writing a test first seems to be extremely hard, and proceeding with the small steps that the TDD cycle requires often demands explicit guidance. Coding Dojo is a dynamic and collaborative activity where people can practice programming, especially techniques related to agile methods. This paper discusses the two experiments conducted to find out how Coding Dojo methodology improves the code coverage of students programming and how it improves motivation in students to learn TDD.
