TDD and BDD/ATDD

Hi all,

I hope you're all ready for our next meetup because it is going to be a blast!
We're proud to host two very special speakers this time.

Both are long time developers and TDD early adopters with more than a decade of experience applying TDD on large and complex production systems in various domains. They will be sharing some of their insights and war stories with us.

Why I do TDD - by Eli Segal

In this talk I'll describe the reasons for doing TDD and how do we benefit from practicing this methodology. I'll also do a live session of the famous bowling kata

Eli Segal has been practicing TDD for more than 10 years, and is constantly spreading the word and teaching others the craft. At his current role as SW team leader at AGT he's responsible for spreading the TDD and clean code spirit to his and other teams, and exploring ways to make the development process faster and safer.

Serenity Now: ATDD-ing your way to production - by Sasha Popov

As developers in a Start-Up we’re all used to moving quickly, often making sacrifices, be it scalability, performance or test coverage. In this talk I'd like to share how in a recently completed project we found that working iteratively, based on a runnable API Spec (Serenity BDD) has helped us getting to a stable, scalable and easy to expand system in production, under rigid “old school” timeline and strict latency requirements.

Sasha Popov has been developing software professionally from age 14. She is a TDD veteran and has been applying the concepts for over a decade now. She worked with various languages and technology stacks, and in various domains such as storage, machine learning and web personalization engines. She is currently a SW team leader at Dynamic Yield.
