Technology?
Customers?
What changed in the last 20 years in
Software Development?
Relations...
And it is not the end...
Change is inevitable...

3. Three aspects of BDD & Agile Requirements
Requirements:
What the stakeholders require?
Functional Specification:
What the product will do to meet requirements?
Technical Specification:
How the product will provide the functionality
Requirements => User Stories
Functional Specification => Examples, Acceptance Tests,
Given/When/Then
Technical Specification => Unit Tests, Functional Tests,
Integration Tests

BDD Loop:
1. Write an acceptance test...

is Green

Simple
Complicated
Complex
Chaotic
Disorder
1. Everyone knows how to
do this
2. There are at least few
people who know that
3. There is at least one
person in our organization
who know how it works
4. Someone, somewhere
already done that before

Next step...
Single Bath Flow
Continuous Delivery
Continuous Delivery does not mean that you need to
deliver every change to production...
Continuous Delivery means that you can deliver your
product to production at any time

10. @streser
Summary...
User Stories is a great tool for discovering
requirements not only writing it down...
You do not have to use User Stories for everything...
Single Bath Flow will allow you to do real Continuous
Delivery
Continuous Delivery is also for business not only for
developers...
