Setting a Good Example

To get the most out of Specification by Example (SBE), Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) or Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD), you need much more than the right tools. You need high value specifications. How do we get the most out of our specification and test writing effort? How do we turn vague business-speak into testable scenarios? How do we express good acceptance tests that are both readable and automated? How do we distinguish between Stories, Specifications and Scenarios? These and other questions will be addressed in this talk in which we take a practical approach using real-world examples.

If you work with Cucumber, Fitnesse, SpecFlow or similar tools to support BDD and SBE, you will learn how to avoid common mistakes that teams make when writing tests. You will also learn to recognise the characteristics that take good example scenarios beyond the role of acceptance tests and into living documentation for long-term value.”
