Patterns for Scripted Acceptance Test-Driven Development
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a series of related patterns to be used in an acceptance testdriven development (ATDD) approach to software development using scripts. ATDD uses executable client-readable acceptance tests written in the form of scripts as the key analysis artifacts that guide software development and presents a number of advantages over traditional analysis artifacts – texts and diagrams. They include a better bridging of communication gaps between clients and developers, prevention of feature creep and synchronization between analysis changes and the code being written.

Examining Usage Patterns of the FIT Acceptance Testing Framework
Executable acceptance testing allows both to specify customers’ expectations in the form of the tests and to compare those to actual results that the software produces. The results of an observational study identifying patterns in the use of the FIT acceptance testing framework are presented and the data on acceptance-test driven design is discussed.
متن کاملAcceptSoftware: A Tool for Executable Acceptance Test Driven Development
This paper introduces AcceptSoftware which is a tool to easily create and run client readable acceptance tests, and describes how it can be used to allow a simple but powerful acceptance-test driven software development. We then describe our AcceptSoftware tool that extends EasyAccept by maintaining a history of acceptance test results. Based on the history, AcceptSoftware is able to generate r...
متن کاملFitClipse: A Fit-Based Eclipse Plug-In for Executable Acceptance Test Driven Development
We conducted a survey on Executable Acceptance Test Driven Development (or: Story Test Driven Development). The results show that there is often a substantial delay between defining an acceptance test and its first successful pass. Therefore, it becomes important for teams to easily be able to distinguish between tasks that were never tackled before and tasks that were already completed but who...
متن کاملCommunicating Domain Knowledge in Executable Acceptance Test Driven Development
We present results of a case study looking at how domain knowledge is communicated to developers using executable acceptance test driven development at a large software development company. We collected and analyzed qualitative data on a large software development team's testing practices and their use of a custom-built executable acceptance testing tool. Our findings suggest that executable ac...
متن کاملMultiple Perspectives on Executable Acceptance Test-Driven Development
This descriptive case study is about the dynamics of a software engineering team using executable acceptance test-driven development in a real world project. The experiences of a customer, a developer, and a tester were discussed. The observed consensus among multiple stakeholders speaks of the effectiveness of the practice in the given context.
