Session #1:
Best practices in BDD

The best software is delivered by teams collaborating, engaging creatively across various functions to understand and resolve the end user business pain points. All Agile teams work together to understand what needs to be done for each story. But somehow, despite common goals, requirements get misinterpreted, defects get injected in the code during various phases of development affecting the end-user adversely. We can do better!

Defining and prioritising user stories is an exciting challenge in itself. But these are not related to BDD/ATDD. Impact mapping / story mapping can be used for the same. BDD kicks in when the story is selected for further detailing. And it needs a good set of examples to explore various rules and alternative behaviours to be properly explained. So it is split into 3 parts Discovery-Formulation-Automation. Purpose is not about notation or automation, but facilitating the common understanding before work actually begins amongst 3 amigos.

Example mapping is an exercise that is done as part of the Discovery phase. Then comes formulation where scenarios are thought through and finally automation. BDD is not TEST AUTOMATION nor is it about NOTATIONS. It’s about exploring behaviour and creating a shared understanding. It becomes living documentation when automation falls in place. If development begins after this failing automation is in place, then it compels you to create software only to the extent that a set of scenarios (acceptance criteria) pass (ATDD). If automation happens after the product is developed then it gets merely used as a notation and test automation tool. Missing the purpose.

I am a follower of Dan North, John Ferguson Smart, Seb Rose, Gasper Nagy, all of them describe ATDD, BDD and specification by examples interchangeably with little differences. In this session, I would like to share some of my learning from reading their literature and experiences gained out of initiating the BDD practices in Digité from scratch. It’s a journey, the more we practise, we get the benefits and one evolves the BDD culture in the way that works best for individual teams.

About Speaker

ashwini Ashwini Lalit

Ashwini Lalit

Manager at Digite

I help teams deliver bug free products. I work with internal teams to achieve the right balance of upstream and downstream quality requirements so as to bring in work efficiency, create a quick feedback cycle, lower wastages so that products are delivered with quality and within budgetary constraints. Microservices architectures are unforgiving of any misalignment in the test pyramid. The penalty of running and maintaining a poorly aligned pyramid is high maintenance costs. Hence it is extremely important for teams to shift quality considerations.

With my expertise in Test Project Management and Test Architecting, end-to-end test automation frameworks, tools research and organisation-wide rollout across products, I drove the test automation initiative at Digité. I cherish training and mentoring teams to achieve transformation from manual testing to agile testing, test automation to continuous testing and bringing in technology cum-process-cultural change.

I am passionate about going green , urban farming, window farming and growing vegetables in limited space. Yoga is a rejuvenating daily ritual for peace of mind-body-soul. And whenever time permits canvas, colours and brush are my good old friends.
