404 – Acceptance Testing: BDD From Stories to Executable Specifications

For Developers, Programmers and Engineers to learn how to translate Stories and Examples into Executable Specifications; build durable tests and Automated Test infrastructure; and use Acceptance Tests to write prompts and improve AI-generated code.

What’s In This Course?
Learn how to specify ideas for new software and features in ways that are more understandable.

Replace expensive manual testing with high-level, automated Acceptance Testing that is stable and resilient to changes to the system or environment.

Dave Farley shares his expertise, and demonstrates techniques from complex projects (widely seen as world-class examples) of the practices to write “Acceptance Tests” in the form of “Executable Specifications”.

And Now – “Acceptance Testing as Programming Language for AI”. Learn how well-written Acceptance Tests, using a DSL approach, can significantly improve AI-generated code.

Course Objectives
* Learn tools and techniques to analyse problems in a way that helps to determine which product features to develop.
* Practise effective story-writing using a combination of “Story Mapping” and “Specification by Example” techniques.
* Know how to create and use a “Domain Specific Language” to support the creation and maintenance of “Executable Specifications”.
*Build Acceptance Tests, as Executable Specifications, that are not compromised by changes in the system under test.
*Learn how to build effective, efficient test cases in complex systems.
*Understand how well-written Acceptance Tests, using a DSL approach, can significantly improve AI-generated code.
