Super Charging TDD with Test-Driven Requirements

We are proud to announce that Industrial Logic (www.industriallogic.com) Senior Consultant Mike Rieser will be joining us to talk about Super Charging Test-Driven Development with Test-Driven Requirements.

Teams are always looking for ways to streamline and improve their development process. Rather than using tests at the end to critique your system, instead use tests to specify your system’s behavior. Tests as specifications reverses the traditional software development process, gets QA and your Customer (requirements donor) engaged early in test creation, removes ambiguity from your user stories, synchronizes the team with a common understanding, and super charges test-driven development. Explore the topic of Test-Driven Requirements with Mike Rieser one of Industrial Logic’s Senior Consultants.

Mike is a software development mentor and trainer. He teaches various aspects of software development, from estimation and planning to coding, architecture and design. At American Airlines, he served as the
website’s Technical Excellence Agile Coach guiding over twenty teams in development practices as well as delivering training across American Airlines IT. At Xerox, he created and delivered the Design for Lean Six
Sigma Black Belt Software Development Program as a part of their lean transformation graduating the first two waves of Black Belt Developers. At Sterling Commerce, he was one of the authors of a patent (now
owned by IBM), System and Method for Multi-Level Guided Node and Topology Discovery. Mike believes that the most effective software development practices are primarily governed by Agile values and
principles, incorporate Lean thinking, and are at their core iterative and incremental.
