Presentation: "The use and abuse of other people's Cucumbers"
Track:
The Agile Individual
Time: Monday 14:00 - 15:00 Location: Salon I
Abstract:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools; that's what the agile manifesto tells you. But that doesn't mean we should just throw away all our processes and tools: good processes can help you to have meaningful interactions, and the right tools can help individuals perform to their potential.
The problem is when you borrow other people's tools and processes, blindly adopting them without reflecting on how well they work for you. This humorous talk delivers an important message that all agile teams should think about. Training: "BDD as if you meant it"
Track:
Tutorials
Time: Friday 13:00 - 16:00 Location: Brooklyn Writers
Abstract:
Outside-in development doesn't mean starting at the user interface, it means starting at the outside of whatever you want to discover.
On a brand new application, the first thing you need to discover is your domain
model. Those fancy ajax gizmos can wait. This session will be a kata-style
tutorial. Working from a single Cucumber scenario, we will drive out a
domain model, then like BDD magicians, we'll slip in a user interface around
the domain model without touching the tests. |
