At TDD Buddy, we're proud to offer a unique kata catalog that goes beyond the usual suspects. In addition to well-known katas, we've curated a selection of lesser-known katas from a variety of sources to keep things fresh and exciting.
We've also created a number of custom-made katas designed specifically to challenge your skills and help you become a better tester. These katas are carefully crafted to test different aspects of testing, such as edge cases, boundary values, and more, to help you hone your testing skills and think outside the box.
Whether you're seasoned or just starting out, our diverse selection of katas will keep you engaged and help you continue to grow on your TDD journey.
