GitHub Copilot Study Guide Series 3: Testing with GitHub Copilot

6:00 PM - 7:00 PM (UTC)

In this live training course on "Testing with GitHub Copilot", participants will explore various options for generating tests for their code, including unit tests, integration tests, and other types. GitHub Copilot can assist in adding these tests by identifying edge cases and suggesting appropriate tests to address them. The course will also cover how to enhance code quality through testing by leveraging GitHub Copilot's suggestions to improve existing tests, generate boilerplate code for different test types, and write assertions for various scenarios. Additionally, the training will delve into leveraging GitHub Copilot for security and performance, demonstrating how it can learn from existing tests to suggest improvements, identify potential issues, and optimize code for better performance. Participants will also learn how to use GitHub Copilot Enterprise for collaborative code reviews, incorporating security best practices and performance considerations, and identifying potential security vulnerabilities in their code. This is part of our GitHub Copilot certification series to aid in preparation for the GitHub Copilot certification.

AMA: GitHub Copilot - Coding with an AI pair programmer

5:00 PM - 6:00 PM (UTC)

We’ve all seen the demos showing how GitHub Copilot can generate code for us with just a couple of prompts. But how do we bring that into our development process? How do we get the most out of the tool? Let’s explore all of this and more as we walk through prompt engineering - the process of providing an AI tool (like GitHub Copilot) the context it needs to generate strong suggestions. We’ll demonstrate how to ensure Copilot is using the right context, and how we can ensure our flow optimizes how GitHub Copilot behaves. There will also be plenty of time to answer questions!
