2009 Session: Driving Features into Your System with ATDD
Friday, 11:20 - 12:10
Track: Test
By now our industry has pretty much accepted the value of automated developer tests (unit tests, micro tests, module tests, and what have you) and the practice of Test-Driven Development (TDD) is slowly making its way into becoming a mainstream practice of craftsman programmers for ensuring code's correctness as well as aiding in its design. Similar benefits can be delivered with Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD), a test-driven approach to implementing whole features.
Expectations
Understanding the dynamics of test-driving the features you develop. Awareness of common process variations of ATDD.
