I facilitated an openspace session on acceptance testing and collaboration between business people, developers and testers at CITCON Europe last week. We started with a list of five common reasons why I’ve seen teams fail with acceptance testing but added five more during the discussion, so here’s an expanded top 10 list:
Thanks very much for inviting me to speak about agile acceptance testing and specification by example at HSBC today. It was great to chat to you and I must say that your video-conferencing system is really impressive. As promised, here are the slides and links from the presentation.
Space-based architectures are an alternative to the traditional n-tier model for enterprise applications. Instead of a vertical tier partitioning, space based applications are partitioned horizontally into self-sufficient units. This leads to almost linear scalability of stateful, high-performance applications.
In this talk, I introduce space based programming and demonstrate how this works in practice on the .NET platform using Oracle Coherence and GigaSpaces.
Concordion is an acceptance testing tool that enables developers, testers and business analysts to build executable specifications in free-form HTML. In this talk, I introduces Concordion.NET acceptance testing tool, the .NET port of Concordion, and demonstrate it with examples. The video was filmed during the third OpenSource .NET Exchange in July this year.
