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.

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...

Today, Software testing is an essential part of successful software development process. The input executes the program and produces the expected output. The outcome of the software product depends on software testing. Manual testing is difficult to produce expected output. The manual testing takes long time to test. The major problem in manual testing is code coverage is not done at regular in...

In industry experiments using test-driven development (TDD), some researchers report significantly increased code quality over traditional test-last approaches. Not surprisingly, information technology educators have begun to call for the introduction of TDD into the curriculum. Some early adopters have pioneered the use of TDD in advanced programming or software engineering courses. A few educ...

In this paper, we conduct an experimental study over two groups of students comprising of undergraduate students (seniors) who develop software using the conventional way of performing unit testing after development and also by extracting test cases before implementation as in Agile Programming. Both groups developed the same software using an incremental and iterative approach. The results sho...

This paper proposes a generic framework for test driven development of robotic systems. The framework provides functionalities for developing and running unit tests in a language and middleware independent manner. Tests are developed as independent plug-ins to be loaded and executed by an automated tool. Moreover, a fixture manager prepares the setup (e.g., running robot drivers or simulator) a...

Orion is NASA's new crew exploration vehicle. The Orion Project will be using a state-of-the art model-based software development process. This model-based software development process is new for the human space program, and implies both new opportunities and risks for NASA. Opportunities include gaining early insight into designs in the form of executable models, and formulation of requirement...
