lecture: Specification by Example

Event_large

"Some call it Behavior-Driven Development, some Agile acceptance testing or Story testing - Specification by Example is a powerful software development technique that can maximize your productivity and minimize your frustration by enabling a truly collaborative way of development. Yet the multitude of names is already a symptom of how scattered the community is about its main concepts.

Also, many developers are kept from experimenting with it because of the amount of frameworks and tools it seems to require, resulting in a considerable cognitive and technological initial investment. But this is not necessary.

In this talk, I introduce Specification by Example and how it can be implemented both management- and technology-wise in green- as well as brown-field projects so you can start taking full advantage of its benefits in your work, with your tools, right now."
