Automated Acceptance Testing and Story- Driven Development by Dave Farley
23-24 June 2020, 9 am to 5 pm
Good Acceptance Tests are complex. These high-level functional tests are often created in a way that leaves them hard to develop, fragile in the face of changes to the system or environment, slow and prone to intermittent failure.
This course addresses these common problems, based on techniques used and developed in complex projects widely seen as world-class examples of these techniques.
We teach an approach based on the development and use of a “Domain Specific Language” that allows teams to create stable, understandable tests that are robust in the face of changes in the system under test.
Dave Farley, founder and director of Continuous Delivery Ltd, is a thought-leader in the field of Continuous Delivery, DevOps and Software Development in general. Dave is co-author of the Jolt-award winning book ‘Continuous Delivery’ a regular conference speaker and well known blogger.
Course Objectives
To practice and understand the identification, creation and use of “Acceptance Tests” in the form of “Executable Specifications” to define the behaviour of a system.
Demonstrate the link between an effective, story-based, approach to requirements and practice the skills to map from story to Acceptance Test.
Practice the skills of effective story-writing using a combination of “Story Mapping” and “Specification by Example” techniques.
Understand how to create and develop a “Domain Specific Language” to support the creation and maintenance of “Executable Specifications”
Understand some of the techniques used to isolate the system under test and allow for the creation of effective, efficient test cases in complex systems.
Build Acceptance Tests, Executable Specifications, that are not compromised by changes in the system under test.
Who should attend this training
The course is aimed, primarily, at developers and testers working close to the code, but is also useful for technical leaders in an organisation to understand the approach in more detail. This course is also very applicable to Product Owners, giving them a framework for analysis, prioritisation and specification that facilitates Continuous Delivery.
