Concordion & ATDD (Lightning Talk)

2. Acceptance Test Driven Development? ATDD is TDD applied at a coarse grain level. With ATDD your focus is on verifying behavior that is visible to customers The emphasis is on creating executable specifications (user stories, use cases, etc.) Like TDD, you define your behavior first, write a failing test, and then write the code.

4. What we wanted Java-based framework Easily integrated with Maven and Hudson Provided traceability Publish requirements/test results

5. Concordion An open source Java framework built on JUnit HTML-based specifications

8. How Concordion Works

9. Advantages No requirements document Requirements, code, tests versioned together Allows for a variety of requirements styles Customers can easily see which requirements are passing Customers don’t need to learn a new requirements style Works great with Build Pipelines

10. Things to Consider Still need to write an Application Driver Requirements written in HTML

11. Concordion Alternatives Tabular Style Requirements Fit FitNesse Behaviour Driven Development easyb JBehave

Notes de l'éditeur

Goal - To provide the audience an understanding of the value of ATDD and how a simple tool like Concordion can help solve this problem.
Quick explanation of ATDD- What is ATDD?- How does it differ from TDD?- How does it relate to BDD?
Quick explanation of ATDD- What is ATDD?- How does it differ from TDD?- How does it relate to BDD?
What we were looking for in a framework?- Java based automated acceptance test framework- Integrated with build/continuous integration platform- Could provide traceability between requirements, tests and code changes- Could publish requirements/acceptance tests to customer automatically
What is Concordion?- Java framework built on top of JUnit - Concordion is simply the glue between HTML specifications and JUnit based Acceptance tests
How it works?- Show the picture of the requirements -> acceptance criteria -> tests -> driver -> SUT
How it works?- Show the picture of the requirements -> acceptance criteria -> tests -> driver -> SUT
How it works?- Show the picture of the requirements -> acceptance criteria -> tests -> driver -> SUT
Other advantages- Didn't tie us into a style of writing requirements (user stories, use cases, BDD, tabular...it all works)- Can also use existing application drivers, like Selenium
Negatives- Still have to write a fair amount of code for the application driver- BA's had to write HTML
