"It was amazing. I touched on TDD on YouTube and Medium before but this workshop goes on a deep dive." Rey Cerio, iOS Mobile Developer, Roche
  • "The online courses on TDD & Microtesting and on-site consulting from IL have been invaluable. Real-world examples with multimedia and a very knowledgeable trainer gave us confidence to completely shift our paradigm. We adopted most of the principles and have seen enormous benefit." William Stewart, Software Engineer, GE
    "Rarely have I met trainers who are truly hands-on. The depth of knowledge and onfield experience of Industrial Logic's instructors is truly inspiring. Their proficiency in agile techniques and TDD is bleeding edge. We have benefitted immensely in barely three days of TDD training with them. We wish they were on our team here in EMC." Vimal Kumar, Principal Software Engineer, EMC
