    30 Days of TDD – Day Eight – Dealing With Defects

    I’ve previously discussed a bit of the TDD workflow; start with a requirement, derive a test from the requirement, write just enough code to make that test pass, repeat. This is sometimes referred to as “Red, Green, Refactor” which I’ll be coming back to several times over the course of this series. In this post I’ll show you how this approach can be extended to dealing with software defects.

    The Importance of Measuring Iteration Velocity and Capacity for Agile Planning

    When iteratively planning an Agile project where the team partitions work into timeboxed iterations, understanding capacity is very important. Planning an iteration is very much like using a bucket to scoop water out of a pool, where the pool represents the complete set of backlog items on your project and the bucket represents the amount of work that can be accomplished in a single iteration. Understanding how much water a bucket holds will give you an idea of how many buckets are required to empty the pool. Similarly, understanding how much work your team can deliver in an iteration will ...

    More Data and Better Analytics Lead to Better Quality Decisions

    Software development and testing processes have the potential to create a lot of useful data. With fast computers and new software tools, we can use that data in innovative ways to dramatically improve how we look at problems and make decisions. Gartner has named data and analytics as a disruptive force in the testing industry in its latest automated testing Magic Quadrant. Today, for our decisions regarding characteristics like quality, “doneness”, impact of defects, and test coverage, we all too often rely on our experience, instincts, and “gut feel”. While those decisions are sometimes correct, much of the time ...
