I’m thinking about organising a one day or half-day seminar on the current state of agile acceptance testing for managers, team leaders and senior technical people some time in September. If you are interested or know someone who might be (maybe your boss needs to know about these things?) drop me an e-mail or leave a comment below. The seminar would be based on the research I did for my upcoming book, and would cover the following topics:
- key benefits that teams from my research are getting from agile acceptance testing, specification by example and behaviour driven development
- key principles to implement this properly
- key practices to support the principles, and how teams from my research use them in different contexts
- key pitfalls/problems experienced commonly by the teams covered by the research
- some generous time for Q&A
Here are the things I’d like to know from you:
- would half-day or full day be better? (full day would allow us to go more in-depth, but that means that people would have to take a day off work)
- do you have any specific questions you could like to have answered?
- does the schedule make sense? how can I give you more value with this?

I would love to come along to this. Please let me know when you plan on putting this on.
Cheers
I agree that making it a full day might make some not coming.
Out of my experience from your 3 day workshop I think a full day is needed to see all the aspects of AATD and Specification by example.
If you make this seminar to short it might be that attendants find the technique easy and effortless thus trying to implement without proper preparations and time for education.
I would definitely be interested in this. I think a full day will be beneficial for me in terms of an investment of my time.
I have some specific questions which I will email you about and would be interested to hear about then on the day.
Thanks
