Hands-on agile acceptance testing with FitNesse, Berlin, April 19-21

Published by gojko under news, tutorials

I will run a three day hands-on workshop on agile acceptance testing and specification by example in Berlin, Germany on April 19-21.

This three day workshop immerses the participants into a project driven by Specification by Example and Agile Acceptance Testing. Through facilitated exercises and discussion, you will learn how to bridge the communication gap between stakeholders and implementation teams, build quality into software from the start, design, develop and deliver systems fit for purpose.

This workshop is aimed at testers, business analysts and developers. It combines an introduction to Specification by Example and Agile Acceptance Testing, a set of exercises to help you get started with FitNesse – the most popular tool for agile acceptance testing – and a full day of working on realistic domain examples taken from your recent projects or a future phases of projects. This ensures that you gain real-world experience, enabling you to kick-start internal adoption of these practices in your team.

Learn BDD and specification by example straight from the horse’s mouth

Published by gojko under news, tutorials

Dan North and I met up today and decided to do a joint workshop on behaviour-driven development and specification by example. The workshop will be very practical, focused around the following topics:

  • How to communicate effectively with project stakeholders
  • Value of specification by example
  • How to write good scenarios
  • How to spot problems with scenarios and examples and how to fix them
  • How to integrate BDD and specification by example into your development process and organisation
  • Focusing on writing software that really matters
  • Managing code after it is released, using examples and scenarios as live documentation

This will be a unique opportunity to learn BDD and specification by example straight from the horse’s mouth. We’re ironing out the final details and I’ll publish them early next week. For now, I can only say that the workshop will take place in central London mid December this year and that the number of places will be very limited (definitely not more than 30), so if this sounds interesting send me an e-mail or ping me on twitter and I’ll keep you posted.
