Acceptance Test Driven Development represents another step in the pragmatic, cooperative style that was described 10 years ago when a group of 17 software developers gathered at Utah’s Snowbird ski resort in February 2001 and issued the Manifesto for Agile Software Development, with its guiding principle of: “Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.” The Agile Manifesto also includes the principle of: “Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.” Perhaps the developers spent the evening hours around a big fireplace at Snowbird – feeding the flames with ...

When I was the CTO of Zagat, one of our board members gave me a copy of Kent Beck’s original Extreme Programming Explained. At the time Zagat was doing a modified version of waterfall that was more “agile”, meaning we were doing things quickly and responding to the needs of the business (this was the .COM boom you know!), however, we were not Aglie insofar as...
