A big thanks again to Policy Expert for hosting the event. It wouldn't be possible without their help.
Abstract
How many teams have you worked on that can confidently and swiftly verify that their software does what their customers expect it to do? How would you even go about achieving this in the first place?
In this talk we’ll explore how adopting executable specifications, or behaviour-centric examples written in the language of the customer, can help contribute towards this goal whilst simultaneously providing us with up-to-date and provable documentation for our systems. We’ll cover the approaches and techniques that set you up for success in this endeavour, regardless of whether you’re applying them to a greenfield or legacy codebase.
For those of us having the most fun with legacy systems, we’ll also touch on how a combination of approval and smoke tests can give us the confidence we need to suitably refactor the system for this new and improved level of testability.
