Test-Driven Everything—with Deliberate Collaboration

Add to calendar

You've heard that quality belongs to everybody on an agile team. You've heard that testers and developers should collaborate in order to drive quality higher. You've heard that automated tests help a team continuously validate the quality. Well, it's time to stop just thinking and talking about these things! It's time to make them happen! Watch “Cheezy” Morgan do this in front of your eyes. Watch him build a web application, driven by acceptance and unit tests. Discover how a product owner, tester, and developer collaborate closely and deliberately to create executable user stories that test the requirements, build the code using test-driven development, validate the stories by getting the acceptance criteria to pass one-by-one, and refactor along the way. By the end, you’ll get a savory taste of what a continuous delivery pipeline really looks like and understand what it takes to drive your processes toward continuous deployment with test-driven everything. Prepare to collect your jaws from the floor!
