TDD Glasgow TDD + AI
Description
BRING A LAPTOP!!
Test Driven Development is evolving. Join us for a fully hands‑on workshop where you write the tests, and AI writes the code.
We’ll explore how modern AI tools can slot into a classic TDD workflow—not as a replacement for engineering thinking, but as a powerful collaborator. You’ll pair up, sketch out your test cases, and then watch how AI interprets, implements, and occasionally surprises you with its solutions. Along the way, we’ll discuss what works, what doesn’t, and how to keep your design intent at the centre of the process.
💡 What to expect
Hands on workshop working in pairs with AI to write the tests and then have AI write your code
A friendly, collaborative environment—ideal for all experience levels
🧪 Why this workshop?
AI is changing how we build software, but TDD remains one of the best ways to keep code quality, clarity, and intent under your control. This session gives you a safe space to experiment, challenge assumptions, and see how AI behaves when you set the rules.
Doors open: 6:00pm
Event start 6:30pm
Who is the Event Aimed at?
This event is aimed at developers with at least 1+ years experience in industry.
That's just a rough guide and still feel free to come as along if you think you would find the event useful. As long you have a basic development skill and are interested in best practices it should be fine. We have a number of students who attend our events.
What if I've Not Done TDD?
It's worth spending some time getting up to speed on the basics before attending.
