Quality Jam: BDD, TDD and ATDD for the EnterpriseQASymphony
During Quality Jam 2016 I had the privilege of presenting with one of QASymphony's earliest customers, Better Cloud, on how methodologies like BDD, TDD and ATDD scale for the enterprises. Adam Satterfield is the VP of Quality Assurance at Bettercloud and has been in QA for many years; he has taught me a lot about Behavior Driven Development, Test Driven Development, Acceptance Test Driven Development. In the session we share a new way of testing-- what Adam and I believe to be the next generation of testing development.
We know that there are several ways to do testing and we are just showing one new way to do it - If this session doesn't inspire action, hopefully it will at least give you and your team something to think about.
Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations by Jez Humble a...Agile India
High performing organizations don't trade off quality, throughput, and reliability: they work to improve all of these and use their software delivery capability to drive organizational performance. In this talk, Jez presents the results from DevOps Research and Assessment's five-year research program, including how continuous delivery and good architecture produce higher software delivery performance, and how to measure culture and its impact on IT and organizational culture. They explain the importance of knowing how (and what) to measure so you focus on what’s important and communicate progress to peers, leaders, and stakeholders. Great outcomes don’t realize themselves, after all, and having the right metrics gives us the data we need to keep getting better at building, delivering, and operating software systems.

Behavior Driven Development is one of the most commonly misunderstood techniques in DevOps, but it is also one of the key enablers of both an Agile culture and true continuous deployment. This talk will attempt to fill in the missing pieces on exactly what BDD is and how your teams can use it to increase communication, drive quality, and reduce waste. We will also connect the dots on why you need a test-first strategy to enable trunk-based development, continuous integration, and continuous deployment. If your business still struggles with monthly or quarterly big-batch releases, this talk will show you what your teams must do to evolve to the next stage of continuous delivery.
Looking to move to Continuous Delivery? Worried about the quality of your the code? Helping your developers understand clean-code practices and getting the right testing strategy in place can take a while. What should you do to control the quality of the incoming code till then? This talk shares our experience of using PRRiskAdvisor to gradually educate and influence developers to write better code and also help the code reviewer to be more effective at their reviews.
Every time a developer raises a pull-request, PRRiskAdvisor analyzes the files that were changed and publishes a report on the pull request itself with the overall risk associated with this pull request and also risk associated with each file. It also runs static code analysis using SonarQube and publishes the configured violations as comments on the pull request. This way the reviewer just has to look at the pull request to get a decent idea of what it means to review this pull request. If there are too many violations, then PRRiskAdvisor can also automatically reject the pull request.
By doing this, we saw our developers starting paying more attention to clean code practices and hence the overall quality of the incoming code improved, while we worked on putting the right engineering practices and testing strategy in place.

These slides generally are about to find the major differences between the two major software development methods - traditional and agile methods. Also some brief review about these two methods will be presented. But the major focus is on comparison between them.
Learn how Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD) provides the process for capturing detailed requirements as acceptance criteria and turn them into as test cases before development begins using Behavior Driven Development (BDD). The BDD approach and Gherkin format is the language used to create easy to understand and actionable scenarios that map from the functional level to the components and units. We will discuss the different approaches to TDD including a realistic approach leveraging BDD to a purest standpoint where TDD use the tests to drive the design of the application. Finally understand how the tools in Visual Studio and Team foundation Server to support BDD such as SpecFlow (Cucumber in .NET), Refactoring tools, and Test Cases in MTM.

xUnit and TDD: Why and How in Enterprise Software, August 2012Justin Gordon
“A comprehensive suite of JUnit tests is one of the most import aspects of a software project because it reduces bugs, facilitates adding new developers, and enables refactoring and performance tuning with confidence. Test-driven development (TDD) is the best way to build a suite of tests. And the Dependent Object Framework is the best way to test against database objects.” This presentation covers the benefits of TDD along with practical advice on how to implement TDD in complex projects.

Join Stacey Brown, President of MindLink Resources, for a webinar that will examine the top 10 qualities of a quality assurance (QA) tester. Learn how to bring out these traits in your current QA staff and how to watch for these soft skills when screening new candidates.
When localizing products, the QA step is essential in confirming the translation and making sure the product was successfully prepared for the target market. Managers trust the QA staff to catch translation and engineering errors and ensure product readiness to avoid quality issues caught by the end customer. Many managers make the mistake of assigning this critical role to a linguist who may not have the right characteristics of a good tester. When selecting QA staff, it is important to consider skills beyond just linguistic and technical. There are many “soft skills” to watch for in a candidate that will give localization managers the confidence that even small errors will be reported by their tester.
In this webinar, Stacey will discuss the top 10 qualities of a quality assurance (QA) tester, how to bring out these traits in current QA staff, and how to watch for these soft skills when screening new candidates.

TDD vs. ATDD - What, Why, Which, When & WhereDaniel Davis
This is a slide deck for a discussion about Test Driven Development (TDD) and Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD) and starting to explore the differences between them. Get some insight into why we use them and the advantages and disadvantages of both, as well as, get a better understanding of which should be used where and when. By the end of the session you should be well along the path to TDD vs. ATDD enlightenment.
I believe that our existing models of testing are not fit for purpose – they are inconsistent, controversial, partial, proprietary and stuck in the past. They are not going to support us in the rapidly emerging technologies and approaches. The certification schemes that should represent the interests and integrity of our profession don’t, and we are left with schemes that are popular, but have low value, lower esteem and attract harsh criticism. My goal in proposing the New Model is to stimulate new thinking in this area.

Cloud Migration services from your on-premise environment can sometimes be very simple and other times an extremely complicated project to implement. For either scenario, there are always considerations to bear in mind when doing so. This course has been designed to highlight these topics to help you ask the right questions to aid in a successful Cloud migration.
Within this course, we look at how timing plays an important part in your project's success and why phased deployments are important. Security is also examined where we focus on a number of key questions that you should have answers to from a business perspective before your Cloud migration. One of the biggest decisions is your chosen public cloud vendor, how do you make the decision between the available vendors, what should you look for when selecting you will host your architecture, this course dives into this question to help you finalize your choice.
Understanding the correct deployment model is essential, it affects how you architect your environment and each provides different benefits, so gaining the knowledge. I look at how you can break this question down to help you with your design considerations. We also cover service readiness from your on-premise environment and how to align these to the relevant Cloud services. Your design will certainly be different from your on-premise solution, I discuss the best approach when you start to think about your solution design, some of the dos and some of the don’ts.
Once you have your design, it’s important to understand how you are actually going to migrate your services ensuring optimum availability and minimal interruption to your customer base, for example looking at Blue/Green and Canary deployments. Cloud migration allows for some great advantages within your business continuity plans, as a result, I have included a lecture to discuss various models that work great within the Cloud.
Course Objectives
By completing this course you will:
Have greater visibility of some of the key points of a cloud migration
Be able to confidently assess the requirements for your migration
Intended Audience
This course has been designed for anyone who works or operates in business management, business strategy, technical management, and technical operations.
Prerequisites
For this course, it's assumed that you have a working knowledge of cloud computing and cloud principles.
What You Will Learn about Cloud Migration
Introduction - This provides an introduction to the trainer and covers the intended audience. We will also look at what lectures are included in the course, and what you will gain as a student from attending the course.
Time Management – How time plays an important part in successful cloud migration. We discuss the key points to allow time for and how to use it to plan a phased migration.
Security – This lecture will give you the ability to ask the key security questions to the business before performing a migration to the Cloud.
Tester’s considerations when moving towards successful CI/CDDerk-Jan de Grood
These are the slides of the tutorial I gave at QA&Testing in Bilbao on 17 October 2018
Continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) empowers organizations to bring their solution in production fast and frequent. This interactive session will share the benefits of this concept and introduce eight conditions that need to be met in order to make CI/CD a success. After this brief introduction, we will make small groups and explore these conditions, exchange experiences and you will get an understanding what needs to be improved in your organization. Talk to your peers and learn where they stand. Of course each of the groups will share their learnings, so we all go home with an understanding of how you can benefit from CI/CD and what needs to be done to make it work.
Finally we will see what test strategy we would advise if our company would decide to move towards CI/CD and this cover we consider much more than just automate our tests…

Jump Start Agile Testing with Acceptance Test Driven DevelopmentTechWell
Does your agile team struggle to find the right level of detail prior to beginning development? You may be suffering from “chunky” user stories—those that are too large or insufficiently defined to implement or test efficiently. Acceptance test driven development (ATDD) can help you quickly slice those user stories down to a testable size and provide the necessary detail for your developers to begin coding. Join Susan Brockley as she discusses the difference between agile user stories and traditional requirements, and why both are necessary for effective testing. Through real-world examples, Susan shows you how to apply ATDD to quickly define acceptance criteria that can be coded and tested without the heavy documentation typically associated with traditional requirements. She gives tips on when to use ATDD, its relationship to test driven development, how both can enable simultaneous testing by all team members, and how you can incorporate ATDD into your company’s agile practices.

Behaviour Driven Development: Oltre i limiti del possibileIosif Itkin
The QA Financial Forum: Milan 2019
23 January at the Excelsior Hotel Gallia.
Anna-Maria Lukina, Exactpro Business Development Director
The QA Financial Forum: Milan is one of the leading fintech conferences in Italy. The event focuses on the latest achievements in software risk management and automation of software testing. The predominant theme of the Milan event will be Quality Assurance for the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
The topics under discussion will feature:
- Technologies for Automation & AI
- DevOps & CI/CD
- Value Stream Management
- Test Data Management
- Regulatory Compliance
- App Security & DevSecOps
- Testing and quality assurance of Blockchain platforms
The official language of the event is Italian.
Despite the belief that a shared context and collaboration drives quality, too often, software testers and quality professionals struggle to find their place within today's integrated agile teams. This session is a practitioner’s view of testing and testing practices within an iterative/incremental development environment. We will begin with a discussion of some of the challenges of testing within an agile environment and delve into the guiding principles of Agile Testing and key enabling practices. Agile Testing necessitates a change in mindset, and it is as much, if not more, about behavior, as it is about skills and tooling, all of which will be explored.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

21. BDD Definition – By Wikipedia
• In software engineering, behavior-driven development (BDD) is a software development
process that emerged from test-driven development (TDD).[1][2][3][vague]Behavior-driven development
combines the general techniques and principles of TDD with ideas from domain-driven
design and object-oriented analysis and design to provide software development and management
teams with shared tools and a shared process to collaborate on software development.[1][4]
• BDD is largely facilitated through the use of a simple domain-specific language (DSL) using natural
language constructs (e.g., English-like sentences) that can express the behavior and the expected
outcomes. Test scripts have long been a popular application of DSLs with varying degrees of
sophistication. BDD is considered an effective technical practice especially when the "problem space"
of the business problem to solve is complex.
24. BDD, The 3 Amigos and TDD
Definition
• Three amigos refers to the primary perspectives to examine an increment
of work before, during, and after development. Those perspectives are:
• Business - What problem are we trying to solve?
• Development - How might we build a solution to solve that problem?
• Testing - What about this, what could possibly happen?
27. Advantages & Disadvantages of Using BDD
Expected Benefits
• Builds a shared understanding about the intent of an increment
of work.
• Easy ramp up from a skillset perspective
• Multi language & IDE support (Java, Ruby)
• Various mobile and web supporting frameworks
• Identifies misunderstandings and confusion early and allows
learning to happen sooner in the delivery of an increment of
work.
• Provides a reasonable guard rail for the number of people who
should be involved in discussions about any given increment of
work.
28. Advantages & Disadvantages of Using BDD
Disadvantages & Common Pitfalls
• While syncing various personas, Doesn’t employ traditional SW
development processes
• Dependent on available coding skillset within the team (step definition
development)
• Maintenance and cross platform robust test coding is often a challenge
• Limiting three amigo discussions to only three people. If there are other
stakeholders who are relevant to a particular increment of work, include
them in the discussion.
• Three amigo discussions become regularly scheduled meetings and are
treated as another ceremony for the team to do instead of as a handy
guide of what perspectives should be included in a discussion about a
particular increment of work.
29. Here is a sample Gherkin document:
Feature: Refund item
Scenario: Jeff returns a faulty microwave
Given Jeff has bought a microwave for $100 And he has a receipt
When he returns the microwave
Then Jeff should be refunded $100
In Gherkin, each line that isn't blank has to start with a Gherkin keyword, followed by any text you like.
The main keywords are:
• Feature
• Scenario
• Given, When, Then, And, But (Steps)
• Background
• Scenario Outline
• Examples
There are a few extra keywords as well:
• """ (Doc Strings)
• | (Data Tables)
• @ (Tags)
• # (Comments)
Gherkin Syntax
https://cucumber.io/docs/reference
30. Gherkin Syntax – Features, Scenario’s & Steps
• Features describe in an high level a single feature of the system
e.g. “Login to the app” and to group to it set of related scenario’s
• Scenario’s are specific business rules related to the feature
• Describe an initial context
• Describe an event
• Describe an expected outcome
• Steps are usually defined using Given, When and Then and
construct the body of the scenario.
• There are some recommended practices around the # of Given and When
within a single scenario. To many == split your scenario
• Then usually would describe the expected outcome followed by an Assertion
or validation (Object based or Visual based).
31. Diving Into Gherkin – Use of Background’s
Instead of repeating Given steps across multiple scenario’s,
Include the repetitive Given/s in the Background section
33. Diving Into Gherkin – Scenario’s vs. Scenario Outline
A container for a table
34. Doc Strings and Data Tables
Doc strings (“””) are used to pass large string of text to a step definition
Data tables are used to pass a list of values to a step definition
35. Tagging and RTDD
Use of tags (@) above Features, Scenarios allow classifying and
grouping what’s above the tag. E.g. – a tag placed above a
Feature means that all scenarios below that feature get the tag.
41. BDD Test Management
Teams can chose commercial tools (TestRail e.g.) or embed BDD
into their Build/CI tool chain
• Build Tools
• Gradle, Maven
• CI Tools
• Jenkins, Team City, Bamboo
42. BDD for iOS – XCFit & Cucumberish
XCFit is a pure Swift implementation to support BDD inside XCode projects. It also gives
XCode templates to get started with BDD, Page Object Pattern and Protocol Oriented
pattern. XCFit has some pre-defined steps inside Swift frameworks but the quick benefit
comes from XCode templates. More information on Protocol Oriented BDD here. Again
major drawback is we cannot write or execute .feature files and lacks many core
cucumber features like tags, filtering features.
Cucumberish is a test framework that can be used to write features in Gherkin format and
can be executed from XCode. Cucumberish is written Objective-C and uses Objective-C
Gherkin parser from Cucumber repository. Its great to be able to execute Gherkin feature files
from XCode but Cucumberish has some bugs and needs workarounds for most cases. Also
it’s a bit tricky to introduce Objective-C dependency in the fully Swift Project. Cucumberish
can be imported to UI Test target using CocoaPods or Carthage.
