Meet MPCDF

Live Demo of a Test Driven Software Development Workflow

  • Date: Mar 2, 2023
  • Time: 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM (Local Time Germany)
  • Speaker: Nils Schild (IPP)
  • Location: online via Zoom
  • Host: MPCDF
  • Contact: training@mpcdf.mpg.de
The series "Meet MPCDF" offers the opportunity for the users to informally interact with MPCDF staff, in order to discuss relevant kinds of technical topics.

Developing a flexible and reliable Software Stack is a complex and challenging task. Modern Software Engineering Tools and Workflows support developers to achieve these goals. One of the most important aspects is the testing of an implementation. Using a Test Driven Development (TDD) Workflow introduces tests natively during the implementation phase.

In this talk we will briefly recap different kinds of tests and their purposes. Subsequently, we will do a live demonstration of Test Driven Development using the Testing Framework GTest.


Meet MPCDF: A seminar of this series is given on the first Thursday of the month, from 15:30 to 16:30, and features a technical talk (ca. 20-30 minutes) about an AI, HPC or data-related topic given by a staff member of the MPCDF. In addition, this meeting offers the opportunity for the users to informally interact with MPCDF staff, in order to discuss relevant kinds of technical topics. Optionally, questions or requests for specific topics to be covered in more depth can be raised in advance via email to training@mpcdf.mpg.de.

Target audience are intermediate to advanced users of MPCDF services as well as computational scientists and software developers of the MPG. Users seeking a basic introduction to MPCDF services are referred to our semi-annual online workshop "Introduction to MPCDF services" (see above) which offers a consistent introduction for new users of the MPCDF.
