The Journey to Creating Testable Requirements
Summary
Agile Development teams that implement better practices like ensuring testable requirements are set up for long-term success. In this session Bharti will provide examples of clearly communicated user stories and testable requirements. User stories help to focus on the user's needs rather than on solutions and technologies. A key component for having productive teams and high quality software is to ensure that requirements are clear, actionable, and testable. The need for clearly communicated requirements is increasing more and more because there is no real way to ensure that teams are developing the "right" software without it. Testable requirements and leveraging tools like gherkin will meet the needs and expectations of customers and users. This can lead to releasing more software more often. Below is the session outline. Introduction Effective User Stories and Acceptance Criteria Clearly Communicating Requirements Gherkin Syntax and Example of using examples (activity) Basics of how Automated Acceptance Testing works and the value they provide Simple real life example.
Learning Objectives
- Creating testable requirements with examples
