THE WORKSHOP

Hands on workshop where we will guide participants to implement and design software from the business perspective with tests that won’t get in the way.

After organising the room in pairs, we will explain the Outside-In mindset and use it to develop a feature.

Starting from some requirements and the acceptance criteria, we will write one acceptance test driving the outer loop of our ATDD suite.

We will then use it as feedback for the progress of the implementation of the feature until it is completed. And at the end we will compare solutions.

This is a technique that includes elements of ATDD (London school) , BDD, classic TDD, Domain Driven Design and it is ideal for expanding the functionality of the system incrementally, in harmony with business folks.
