Are BDD and test automation the same thing? Automation Guild 2021

•

1 like•341 views

The document discusses the differences between test automation and behaviour-driven development (BDD). It defines test automation as using separate software to control test execution and compare results, while BDD creates shared understanding of requirements through structured conversations and examples documented in business language. Key differences are that BDD has broader impact through living documentation, whereas test automation has more applicable testing domains but may be siloed; both provide benefits like quality and feedback if practiced effectively together. The document warns against confusion that BDD is the same as test automation or that using Given/When/Then implies following BDD.

If Agile works, why isn’t everyone doing it? Or, as Agile has become fashionable of late, why all the lip service without the expected amount of real change? This presentation makes the argument that it comes down to trust and presents tools and examples for building and keeping trust. The focus is on how to project plan and design applications in a way which, wherever possible, avoids putting stakeholders into situations which require trust in the first place.

DevOps promises faster deployments, better quality code in production, reduced risk of a security breaches, and more! The number of tools used to cover all the stages across DevOps lifecycle is likely reaching in the 20’s. How much are your spending on these tools (open source or purchased) -- both from a cost and time to implement? Not to mention, how much is it costing you to integrate them all? Have you thought about the users in your organization and their constant ‘switching’ between these tool and the time it takes them to learn and manage things day-to-day? Whether or not you choose Open Source or open-core for these point DevOps tools, the burden is significant on your organization. Learn how your financial services peers are overcoming this DevOps tool tax to gain their competitive advantage in the market.

Security design is an important, but often neglected, component of system design. In this session, Douglas Crockford, creator of Javascript Object Notation, will outline the security issues that must be considered in the architecture of Ajax applications. The design of the browser did not anticipate the needs of multiparty applications. The browser’s security model frustrates useful activities and allows some very dangerous activities. This talk will look at the small set of options before us that will determine the future of the Web. During this session, attendees will: <ul> <li>Learn why effective security is an inherent feature of good design;</li> <li>Experience a real-time demo of a Ajax client/server system based on sound security principles</li> <li>See how to apply secure design to rich web applications.</li> </ul>

Test automation scripts are in a constant state of obsolescence. New features are added, changes are made, and testers learn about these changes long after they've been implemented. Marcus Merrell helped design a system in which a "model" is created each time a developer changes code that affects the UI. That model is checked against the suite of automated tests for validity. Changes that break the tests are apparent to the developer before his code is even checked in. Then, when features are added, the model is regenerated and automation can immediately address brand-new areas of the UI. Marcus describes fundamental test design and architecture best practices, applicable to any project. Then he demonstrates this new approach: parsing an application's presentation layer to generate an addressable model for testing. Marcus shows several case studies and successful implementations, as well as an open-source project that can have you prototyping your own model before you leave for home.

The rise of micro-service architectures offers the promise of a more agile software development process. Software systems will be made up of many collaborating components which are developed, deployed and operated by distributed teams and organizations. But how can we avoid a recurring configuration nightmare (c.f. DLL hell) and ensure that we benefit from the promised flexibility, rather than creating a fragile, distributed monolith? Contract testing offers an excellent solution. Participants will be able to: - Explain why contract testing is critically important - Describe how to incorporate contract testing in your development practices - Show their team where they can get an introduction to the open source tool, Pact.

The days of delivering a monolithic desktop application once a year on physical media are long gone. Today we expect continuous (or at least frequent) delivery of upgrades and security patches with zero downtime. To support this, more and more companies are moving to a distributed, cloud-based architecture of collaborating micro-services. But managing and testing an evolving of a micro-service ecosystem is not without it’s challenges. In this session we’ll examine what can go wrong when organisations jump headfirst into micro-service architectures without understanding the potential pitfalls. You’ll leave with an understanding of the techniques and tooling necessary to reap the benefits of increased flexibility and velocity without creating additional risk or deployment nightmares.

Micro-service delivery - without the pitfalls

Seb Rose

New software development approaches continue to be promoted. You may be aware of waterfall, RUP, 4GLs, 3-tier client server – all still alive and kicking in some domains. You will be familiar with some (or all) of Agile, Kanban, DevOps, SAFe, No Code/Low Code and many others. A new kid on the block is DevSecOps. What does that mean? Why is it important? How will it affect agile software teams? If we adopted the tenets of DevSecOps without calling it DevSecOps would it “smell just as sweet”? What would it “smell” like if we spun up a DevSecOps team, without understanding the fundamental challenges that DevSecOps was intended to overcome? In this session I’ll explore the origins of DevSecOps before going on to demonstrate how there’s often a distance between the label and the intent of DevSecOps. Finally I’ll discuss the impact that DevSecOps can have on our agile teams and organisations based on my perspective gathered over a 40 year career in software.

Example mapping is a simple but powerful technique for structuring the conversation you need to have before a user story goes into development. If you are struggling with user stories that are too big, or hard to test, or you're finding that the team are not all on the same page about the scope of a user story, Example Mapping could be just what you need. Using a regular pack of coloured index cards, we'll work in groups to practice breaking down the details of a user story, capturing the business rules, examples of those rules, and any questions or assumptions that emerge. Example mapping is a great input to a BDD or ATDD process, but that's not essential. You'll still get a lot out of this conversation technique even if you don't turn the examples into automated tests.

Software testing seems to advance at an ever increasing pace. However, lurking under the surface of relentless progress, Seb Rose believes there is a rich strata of continuity. In this session he will explore these foundational aspects of our trade - informally and illustrated by some pretty pictures. The first article Seb wrote for a software journal was in 2003 (https://accu.org/index.php/articles/363) where he drew an awkward analogy between software projects and building a shed. Over the years, he has found that he has a penchant for analogies and this session will continue in that vein. Don’t worry, though, he’s not going to bore you with pictures of building sites or aphorisms from lean manufacturing. Instead, he’ll take you on a gentle walk on some mountainous paths in the south of France. There’ll be red wine and automated testing; oak forests and scope creep; deep river gorges and CI pipelines. He’ll ask you to walk with him and take a close look at the concepts that underpin our trade. “We must learn to walk before we can run” is an age-old adage. We all learned to walk decades ago. Many of us learnt how to test software shortly thereafter. However, just as running is not simply walking faster, neither is better software testing simply working with the latest shiny tools. By slowing down, observing our behaviour, considering alternatives, and deliberately practicing different approaches we can re-learn how to develop software. Or confirm that how we’re doing it now is just fine. As Jon Jagger reminds us in the FAQ of the wonderful Cyber-Dojo: “Stop trying to go faster; start trying to go slower. Don’t think about finishing; think about improving. Think about practicing.” From this keynote, you’ll enjoy a gentle walk on some mountainous paths in the south of France, some red wine with unit testing and above all understand how to walk before running.

Was there a time before requirements? Can the product be created before the requirements? Is a product ever “finished”? These are just some of the questions considered in this session. It begins by reviewing the great requirement formalisms of yester-year, before delving into the secrets which still lie at the heart of agile product development, from user stories to living documentation, via confetti parties and Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) * BDUF – Big Design Up Front ** JIT – Just In Time

A brief history of requirements - Unicom 2022

Seb Rose

Is your team struggling with unproductive meetings and workshops? Are you unsatisfied with how your team comes together to refine requirements and specify solutions? Have you heard about example mapping and want to know more? Specifying and delivering software is a process of discovery. No team has ever delivered a valuable product without discovering many things during the development process, but many teams struggle to get good at discovery. Matt Wynne created a technique called example mapping that has helped thousands of teams around the world use examples to reach a shared understanding of the problems that need solved. As a consequence there are fewer misunderstandings, fewer disagreements, and a smoother flow of value delivery.

Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) is an agile approach to delivering software that has been around for well over a decade. It was created to help developers care about quality, morphed into a collaboration approach, and found widespread mis-adoption as a test automation technique. In this session Seb will explain how BDD is intended to work, what value it delivers when done well, and why much BDD in the workplace falls short. Learning Objectives: What can our attendees expect to take away from the session? ● enumerate the three core practices of BDD ● explain the difference between BDD and test automation ● argue that collaboration and learning are at the heart of successful software development

The test automation pyramid suggests that we should favour unit and integration tests over end-to-end tests, which leads developers to use test doubles (fakes, stubs, mocks etc.). The risk is that the developer's test double does not behave in exactly the same way as the actual component that it is replacing. When this happens, the tests all pass in your build pipeline, but you get failures when it's released into an integration (or production) environment. Contract testing is a technique that can give you confidence that your test doubles are accurately simulating the dependencies that they replace. This is not a new technique, but the extra investment in creating and maintaining (yet another) suite of tests has restricted its uptake. Instead, organizations mitigate the risks by investing in more and more integration environments and end-to-end tests. This was always expensive, but with the adoption of micro-service architectures across the industry, the cost and complexity has escalated to a point where this approach is no longer sustainable. There is now an urgent need for organizations to revisit contract testing, with a specific focus on consumer driven contracts for micro-services. This need led to the creation of the Pact open source tool for HTTP based micro-services. The Pact project has created a multi-platform suite of tools that dramatically simplifies the adoption of contract testing. In this session, you'll learn why contract testing is critically important, look at how you can incorporate contract testing in your development practices, and get an introduction to Pact.

Planning poker, introduced back in the early days of XP, has become a standard ritual in many agile processes. To paraphrase the Hitchhiker's Guide, although planning poker frequently leads to estimates that are "apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, it scores over older, more pedestrian techniques in two important respects. First, it is almost entirely informal; and secondly it let's consultancies inscribe their name in large friendly letters on the back of each card". In 11 slides I'll describe how planning poker is supposed to work, why it usually doesn't, and offer some alternatives that might work better for you. Along the way we'll also try to answer one of the universe's most difficult questions: how long is a piece of string?

How long is a piece of string?

Seb Rose

Ever looked at a specification and wondered exactly what it meant? Ever wasted time trying to figure out what might be impacted by a change in the specifications? Ever been unsure which parts of the specification have actually been developed? Ever looked at test scripts and found yourself unclear what was actually being tested? Of course you have! There is a better way to tackle uncertainty and write easily understood specifications, that can also act as automated tests. Come find out how.

The microservices honeymoon is over. When starting a new project or revamping a legacy monolith, teams started looking for alternatives to microservices. The Modular Monolith, or 'Modulith', is an architecture that reaps the benefits of (vertical) functional decoupling without the high costs associated with separate deployments. This talk will delve into the advantages and challenges of this progressive architecture, beginning with exploring the concept of a 'module', its internal structure, public API, and inter-module communication patterns. Supported by spring-modulith, the talk provides practical guidance on addressing the main challenges of a Modultith Architecture: finding and guarding module boundaries, data decoupling, and integration module-testing. You should not miss this talk if you are a software architect or tech lead seeking practical, scalable solutions.
