Line Up
8:30 - 9:00 REGISTRATION & BREAKFAST
Enjoy some breakfast whilst we process your registration. Gojko Adzic and Skills Matter will then welcome you to the Agile Testing and BDD eXchange 2012.
9:00-10:00 THE SOLID PRINCIPLES OF TEST DESIGN
 Uncle Bob (Robert C. Martin): When did we forget that tests were software? When did we decide that tests didn't need to follow the rules of software design? The fact is that the tests we write are *part* of our software system, and are subject to all the same rules that our other software modules are subject too. View the podcast here...
10:00-10:15 COFFEE, TEA & REFRESHMENTS
The Agile Testing and BDD eXchanges break for tea, coffee and refreshments.
10:15 - 11:00 MAKE IMPACT, NOT SOFTWARE
 Gojko Adzic: There has to be a better way to deliver! Gojko presents a possible
solution, impact mapping, an innovative strategic planning method that
can help you make an impact with software. View the podcast here...
11:00 - 11:15 COFFEE, TEA & REFRESHMENTS
The Agile Testing and BDD eXchange breaks for coffee, tea and refreshments
11:15 - 12:00 EXPLORE, EVALUATE, & CONFIRM PRODUCT NEEDS WITH STRUCTURED CONVERSATIONS
 Ellen Gottesdiener : Hear about essential practices you can use in your daily work that blend
value‐based decision‐making, a testing mindset, and disciplined analysis. You
will see how front‐loading verification and validation when discovering
product needs fuels collaboration, saves development time and is
instrumental to delivering a high quality product. View the podcast here...
12:00 - 12:45 LUNCH
The Agile Testing and BDD eXchange break for lunch.
12:45 - 13:30 BUSINESS VALUE: IT’S A CONVERSATION, NOT A NUMBER
 Kent McDonald: Teams often talk a great deal about how projects need to deliver “business value”, but what does that really mean? The true use of business value in projects is to determine what to deliver and in what order. Teams may try to quantify their business value but that activity may be entirely unnecessary.

13:30-14:15 MAKING FITNESSE ACCESSIBLE TO HUMANS
  Cirilo Wortel & Arjan Molenaar: Working in Agile software development just demands that you automate your work and have all stakeholders involved, including business analists and functional testers. Once you start working with people that have little or no experience with test automation it becomes painfully clear that collaborative test-automation tools with an intuitive feel to it are practically non-existent.

14:30-15:15 BUILDING A MAINTAINABLE ACCEPTANCE TEST SUITE
 Badrinath Janakiraman: With TDD/BDD becoming steadily more popular over the past decade, writing tests, as an activity, has gained a significant body of knowledge behind it. Patterns of writing good automated tests are well documented and are a subject of active discussion and healthy debate. View the podcast here...
15:15-16:00 BEHAVIOR DRIVEN OBJECTS
 David Chelimsky: One of the original ideas behind BDD was that testing should be about
behavior at all levels. Effectively, all automated tests can be viewed
as "functional tests" of entry points, be they user facing or
internal, crossing procedural boundaries or not. In this talk we'll
explore approaches to focusing on the behavior of objects, using
language that also serves to document the expected behavior in ways
useful to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. View the podcast here...
16:00-LATE BEER IN THE BAR
Continue the conversation with fellow attendees and speakers in the snazzy Ace Hotel bar.
