# Discovery Testing by David Winterbottom

Discovery testing is a TDD workflow for effectively building features. It addresses some of the difficulties of trying to use the red-green-refactor workflow to build real-life features. It's not that well-known but deserves to be: for one, it has fundamentally changed the way I program.

David, our speaker, is the head of engineering at Octopus Energy, a new energy supplier for the UK. Previously he worked at a fintech start-up, a digital agency and HM Revenue & Customs - he also helped write the open-source e-commerce package django-oscar. His primary language is Python and he's particularly interested in software design, TDD and the art of writing maintainable software.

It teaches you the basics using Python and Django. Come to the meetup, pop your name into a bowl and you'll get a chance to win a copy yey \o/
