What Makes Ruby Roll?
Time:
Wednesday 13:00 - 14:00
Location:

Abstract: Test-driven development and automated acceptance testing have taken the agile programming world by storm, becoming cornerstones of any agile project.
At its best, TDD is a design process as much - or more than - a testing approach. Behaviour-driven development (BDD) repositions both TDD and automated acceptance testing to place the emphasis on the behaviour of a system. Evidence from many different teams has shown that this approach leads to a better understanding and more effective use of TDD. This session introduces the principles behind BDD and demonstrates some real examples in Ruby.
