Agile software testing: Test-Driven Development (TDD), Behavior-Driven Development (BDD), etc.
This talk is about how to use the stresses of writing unit tests to improve your code. If I’m having trouble writing tests, it’s often because the design of my target code can be improved. The trick is to listen to the tests and let them drive my development — …
The talk shows how we can implement a rigorous, yet agile process. It is based around our experiences of putting the good idea of continuous integration and other agile methods into life and using this as the basis not just for the technical process, but for the whole improvement program …
As we become more efficient at producing web sites, inevitably the issue of quality (or lack thereof) can begin to slow the velocity at which implementation teams are able to move forward. Functional testing tools can help increase quality, bolster team confidence and keep things running smoothly. This panel will …
Unit testing has become a mainstream task. Most developers do it. Most project leaders and architects expect their team to write tests. However, practice has taught us that a lot of teams write few tests, or spend too much time writing and maintaining them. Different development teams make common mistakes, …
In this webcast we’ll introduce Behavior Driven Development (BDD) and Jasmine (a BDD framework for JavaScript); install Jasmine and add related code to the app to support BDD; discuss how to write a failing test first, then add functionality to make a test pass; and finally we’ll develop a simple …
Test automation is commonly perceived as a technical job, which should be done by technical people. In reality however, a considerable amount of non-technical activities contribute to the creation and maintenance of an automated test suite. Whilst test engineers are arguably competent at non-technical testing tasks, they may not be …
