Acceptance testing in the land of the startup
The document discusses acceptance testing within startups, emphasizing the need for customer-facing tests that identify expected outcomes amid uncertainty. It references frameworks like the Cynefin model and concepts like 'build-measure-learn' to navigate complexities in development. With examples from Songkick, it highlights the importance of validating features, such as Facebook signups, through real user interactions.
