Agile Testing UK:Clean Acceptance Tests
Clean Acceptance Tests
Clean Acceptance Tests
This presentation discusses how our agile team renewed our focus and understanding of our acceptance tests when the team members changed. Our group found some core shared values in the context of acceptance testing which we expressed in the style of the agile manifesto. We then looked at our existing tests to find bad test smells that we could learn from. The whole exercise was a good experience and we encourage you to try something similar in your teams.
