    Acceptance Test Driven Development

    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 ...

    Rethinking Agile Methodologies Part I: How I started to use Scrum

    In the beginning I used waterfall. There I said it. Looking back at the mid to late 1990s, I can’t believe how I ever got software developed at all! ;) I was first introduced to Agile methodologies ten years ago. 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...

    As a QA professional, it’s important to get involved with the development team early on in the process. This article will discuss just one of the many benefits in doing so – coding standards and the use of ID’s for enhanced team productivity. Require this up front and you can significantly cut back test case maintenance. No matter what software you use for your test automation, the method in which elements are identified plays a critical role. Small changes to your application can often break the test’s ‘find logic’ causing your test runs to fail. Let’s say a couple elements ...

    Stand Up Meetings Are About More Than Standing

    “Our team is agile because we stand up for meetings!” It’s the perennial joke of the agile community. We’ve all heard of teams that feel that they are doing agile development because they stand up for their meetings. (I sincerely hope that it is more urban legend than truth.) The reality is that there is more to agile than stand up meetings and there is more to stand up meetings than simply standing. Let’s look at some of the key aspects of the stand up meeting and how you can make yours more effective. Just the Facts, Ma’am At the ...

    Binding Telerik Reports to Google Spreadsheets API

    Introduction A while back, someone pointed me to this news article containing a Google Documents based spreadsheet with information about UK Inflation. Since I typically spend a lot of time working with Telerik Reporting, I thought it would be fun to create my own report based on this data. Accessing Google Data from .NET One of the cool things about Google is that they are a very data oriented company. Pretty much all of their services are centered on storing, organizing, and maintaining different types of data. They make this data extremely easy to access through the use of ...
