Abstract

Teaching the Agile practices of Test-Driven Development and Refactoring to entry level students can be a challenge. This paper outlines an approach to doing so with simplicity at its core. It has been an effective way to communicate not only the mechanics of the practices, but also the reasons behind why the practices are important to a professional software developer.
