Beyond Pass-Fail: The Business Value of Acceptance Tests for High-Traffic Websites : Gojko Adzic on The Long-term Value of Acceptance Tests
The Long-term Value of Acceptance Tests
Most of the discussion on automated acceptance tests focuses on immediate benefits in development and defect detection or regression testing. But that's not nearly all you can get from your tests.
While working on his new book, Gojko interviewed more than 50 teams that got big pay-offs from automated acceptance tests, including some that have been using agile acceptance testing for six or seven years. In the long term, most of these teams got quite unexpected benefits, such as being able to support their system easier, significantly change their business models or survive the absence of key business people.
Gojko will talk about these long term benefits of acceptance tests and what you need to do to get them.

Steve Freeman and Nat Pryce's Growing Real Systems Guided by Tests (March 28-29)
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
Gojko Adzic's Test Driven Development Workshop (April 18-19)
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
Gojko Adzic's BDD for Developers (April 26-27)
This hands-on BDD workshop will help you get the key skills needed to succeed with behaviour driven development and specification by example.
Through simulations and practical exercises, you will apply the ideas and practices of BDD to solve the most common issues development teams have with specifications and tests. You will use Cucumber to define and automate BDD scenarios to provide stakeholders with visibility into software features and help the delivery teams drive development and build quality in from the start.
