CukeUp! 2012: Elizabeth Keogh on BDD: When Outcomes don't Come Out
BDD: When Outcomes don't Come Out
BDD is largely a goal-driven approach: we start from a context and explore whether some particular event will lead to the outcome we want.
So how does it work when the outcomes are unclear, or you're just trying to find out what's possible? When finding examples changes the examples, is it possible to automate? In this session we look at the limits of examples and showcase BDD's best feature - not in finding examples, but in finding examples you can't find.

Jon Jagger & Kevlin Henney's Agile Development for Developers

Kevlin Henney's three day Agile Development for Developers course looks at the Agile principles, practices and processes that offer a path to sustainable development for individuals, teams and organisations. For many Developers who want to focus on their craft, it is sometimes difficult to get a view of Agile development that is neither focused on a project management perspective nor just on the practice of Test-Driven Development (TDD)..

Kevlin Henney & Jon Jagger's Mastering Agile Practice

For a developer, deliberate practice means trying new things, trying old things with a view to making them fresh and trying to move from accidental practice to intentional discipline. Deliberate practice improves technical agility through increased self awareness.
    Learn to:
  • Evaluate and improve our test cases using Test-Driven Development
  • Learn pairing and team skills by putting them into practice
  • Identify blindspots in our own thinking, such as evaluating the quality of our own work
  • Learn how to learn and how to unlearn through deliberate practice

Gojko Adzic's Test Driven Development Workshop

Gojko Adzic's two day workshop on Test Driven Development (TDD) enables you to experience and learn test driven development by doing it. You will be immersed in a realistic TDD project, allowing you to learn the practices and principles of test driven development and try them out in practice. Through facilitated exercises and discussion, you will experience two days of working on an agile test-driven team.

You will use and learn basic Test Driven Development practices including unit testing, refactoring and related agile practices such as continuous integration and pair programming. You will understand the reasons behind TDD and experience its benefits first-hand. By applying what you learn, you will be able to build quality into software from the start, design and develop systems fit for purpose and write code that is easy to maintain and evolve in the future. The is a completely hands-on workshop with coding straight from the start, interrupted by very short presentations to explain the practices and put things into a wider perspective. It is based on the very latest tools, current knowledge and ideas from the community. Find out more here

Steve Freeman and Nat Pryce's Growing Real Systems Guided by Tests

Steve Freeman's Growing Real Systems Guided by Tests is an advanced course for those who want to improve their practice of Test-Driven Development. This 2 day Test-Driven Development course shows how to use tests to guide the development of software. We show how to apply this critical skill, using test friction to show us where the boundaries in the code should be so that we can write expressive, coherent code. We also show how TDD works at the larger scale, helping us build reliable systems that fit into the usual soup of third-party services. In particular, we address working with asynchrony and distribution. Find out more here
