Presentation: TweetBehavior-Driven Development for Life
Time:
Tuesday 11:00 - 11:50
/
Location:
French
Behavior-Driven Development uses conversations around examples of system behavior to explore and question that behavior. Many teams try to eliminate the uncertainty in their requirements with the technique - which is, of course, impossible.
In this talk, we look at a domain in which we're used to unavoidable uncertainty - our own lives - and we apply the same techniques to find ways to achieve our goals. Within this familiar environment, we use examples and well-defined outcomes to spot uncertainty, embrace risk, and give ourselves the best possible chance of success, both in software and our life.
