Provides a common language for the whole-team to understand what is being developed. 3. Allows Business to have quantitative insight on the progress of development and answer to the question, “What can the software do?” 4. Enables the design of interfaces to be explored (experimented upon) early on. 5. Increased value! Ability to achieve the right outcomes without unnecessary output (waste). 3

Results in the least amount of code possible to get the job done 3. Software built from a process of constant incremental change is easy to change later 4. Fosters collaboration and transparency among developers, QA, immediate business stakeholders and management 5. Very satisfying practice 4

All Rights Reserved. #BDD-TDD 10 Test-Driven Development (TDD) *from Test-Driven Development by Example - Kent Beck 1.Red - Write a little test that doesn’t work, and perhaps doesn’t even compile at first. 2.Green - Make the test work quickly, committing whatever sins necessary in process. 3.Refactor - Eliminate all of the duplication created in merely getting the test to work. Red/green/refactor – the TDD mantra. (preface, p.x) In other chapter the same order is described as “general TDD cycle”: 1.Write a test… 2.Make it run… 3.Make it right… The goal is clean code that works (thanks to Ron Jeffries for this concise summary)… First we’ll solve the “that works” part of the problem. Then we’ll solve the “clean code” part. (p.11)

All Rights Reserved. #BDD-TDD Behavior Driven Development (BDD) Developed by Dan North and Chris Matts, 2003 - 2004, published 2006 “While using and teaching agile practices like test-driven development...Programmers wanted to know where to start, what to test and what not to test, how much to test in one go, what to call their tests, and how to understand why a test fails.”* “I found the shift from thinking in tests to thinking in behaviour so profound that I started to refer to TDD as BDD, or behaviour- driven development.”* “If we could develop a consistent vocabulary for analysts, testers, developers, and the business, then we would be well on the way to eliminating some of the ambiguity and miscommunication that occur when technical people talk to business people.”* “BDD is a second-generation, outside-in, pull-based, multiple-stakeholder, multiple-scale, high- automation, agile methodology”** * Dan North, “Introducing BDD”: https://dannorth.net/introducing-bdd/ ** Dan North, “Agile Testing, Specifications and BDD Exchange”, 2009 11

All Rights Reserved. #BDD-TDD 12 *Origins (from Agile Alliance web site) 2003: Kent Beck briefly mentions ATDD in the book "Test Driven Development: By Example" but dismisses it as impractical. 2003 to 2004: driven by the popularity of Fit/FitNesse ATDD becomes accepted practice in spite of Beck's objections. ATDD involves team members with different perspectives (customer, development, testing) collaborating to write acceptance tests in advance of implementing the corresponding functionality. Customer perspectives
 …what problem are we trying to solve? Development perspectives
 …how might we solve this problem? Testing perspectives
 …what about…? Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD)

In the end they are all just more noisy label to spin on and around. I tend to think of these spaces as: • Developer tes+ng (by the geeks for the design) – they tell the story of the code • Story tes)ng (by the community for the product) – they tell the story of the product” Email conversation with David back in 2012

Tell stories about a user’s experience with the conference feedback app. (Tell stories, don’t write User Stories!) Ask lots of questions: 1. Ask PO for examples of how this feature should behave. 2. Why does the feature provide value? For who? How? 3. How will you know the feature works? Discuss 18 As a team, we will develop a simple app to capture conference session feedback for the presenters. “What is the simplest manner in which attendees can use a browser to submit conference feedback?” “How do attendees submit feedback?” “What happens when an attendee submits negative feedback?” “What happens when an attendee submits positive feedback?” “What does a feedback report contain?”

All Rights Reserved. #BDD-TDD Resources: 25 3 2 IEEE SOFTWARE Published by the IEEE Computer Society 0740-7459/07/$25.00 © 2007 IEEE Actually, I don’t think any software developer is truly content to ship code that falls below the bar. The truth is that most developers sim- ply don’t know how to reach that bar or don’t believe reaching it is possible. All too often they commit to deadlines that they later find they can’t meet, and so, through high-stress heroics, they wind up compromising quality to avoid be- ing overly late. In this article, I’ll discuss how test-driven de- velopment can help software developers achieve a higher degree of professionalism. TDD isn’t a silver bullet and won’t suddenly transform you into a sterling professional. It does, however, play a significant role. The three laws of TDD TDD practitioners follow these three laws: ■ You may not write production code unless you’ve first written a failing unit test. ■ You may not write more of a unit test than is sufficient to fail. ■ You may not write more production code than is sufficient to make the failing unit test pass. These three laws lock you into a tight loop in which you first write a portion of a unit test that fails, and then you write just enough pro- duction code to make that test pass. This loop is perhaps two minutes long and almost always ends in success.1 Following these laws perfectly doesn’t always make sense. Sometimes you’ll write a larger test. Sometimes you’ll write extra production code. Sometimes you’ll write tests after you’ve written the code to make them pass. Sometimes it’ll take more than two minutes to go around the loop. The goal isn’t perfect adherence to the laws—it’s to decrease the interval between writing tests and production code to a matter of minutes. focus Professionalism and Test-Driven Development Professional software developers ship clean, flexible code that works—on time. It seems to me that this statement is the mini- mum standard for professional behavior for software developers. Yet, in my travels as a software consultant, I’ve met many soft- ware developers who don’t set the bar this high and instead ship late, buggy, messy, and bloated code. test-driven development Robert C. Martin, Object Mentor Test-driven development is a discipline that helps professional software developers ship clean, flexible code that works, on time.
