Praise for Lean-Agile Acceptance Test-Driven Development

 

Lean-Agile Acceptance Test-Driven Development tells a tale about three fictive project stakeholders as they use agile techniques to plan and execute their project. The format works well for the book; this book is easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to apply.”

—Johannes Brodwall, Chief Scientist, Steria Norway

 

“Agile development, some say, is all about pairing, and, yes, I’m a believer in the power of pairing. After reading this book, however, I became a fan of the ‘triad’—the customer or business analyst + the developer + the tester, who work collaboratively on acceptance tests to drive software development. I’ve written some patterns for customer interaction and some patterns for testing and I like what Ken Pugh has chosen to share with his readers in this down-to-earth, easy-to-read book. It’s a book full of stories, real case studies, and his own good experience. Wisdom worth reading!”

—Linda Rising, Coauthor of Fearless Change: Patterns for Introducing New Ideas

 

“The Agile Manifesto, Extreme Programming, User Stories, and Test-Driven Development have enabled tremendous gains in software development; however, they’re not enough. The question now becomes ‘How can I ensure clear requirements, correct implementation, complete test coverage, and more importantly, customer satisfaction and acceptance?’ The missing link is acceptance as defined by the customer in their own domain language. Lean-Agile Acceptance Test-Driven Development is the answer.”

—Bob Bogetti, Lead Systems Designer, Baxter Healthcare

 

“Ken Pugh’s Lean-Agile Acceptance Test-Driven Development shows you how to integrate essential requirements thinking, user acceptance tests and sounds, and lean-agile practices, so you can deliver product requirements correctly and efficiently. Ken’s book shows you how table-driven specification, intertwined with requirements modeling, drives out acceptance criteria. Lean-Agile Acceptance Test-Driven Development is an essential guide for lean-agile team members to define clear, unambiguous requirements while also validating needs with acceptance tests.”

—Ellen Gottesdiener, EBG Consulting, www.ebgconsulting.com, Author of Requirements by Collaboration and The Software Requirements Memory Jogger

 

“If you are serious about giving Agile Testing a chance and only have time to read one book, read this one.”

—David Vydra, http://testdriven.com

 

“This book provides clear, straightforward guidance on how to use business-facing tests to drive software development. I’m excited about the excellent information in this book. It’s a great combination of the author’s experiences, references to other experts and research, and an example project that covers

many angles of ATDD. A wide range of readers will learn a lot that they can put to use, whether they work on projects that call themselves lean or agile or simply want to deliver the best possible software product.”

—Lisa Crispin, Agile Tester, ePlan Services, Inc., Author of Agile Testing

 

Within the framework of Acceptance Test-Driven-Development (ATDD), customers, developers, and testers collaborate to create acceptance tests that thoroughly describe how software should work from the customer’s viewpoint. By tightening the links between customers and agile teams, ATDD can significantly improve both software quality and developer productivity.

 

This is the first start-to-finish, real-world guide to ATDD for every agile project participant. Leading agile consultant Ken Pugh begins with a dialogue among a customer, developer, and tester, explaining the “what, why, where, when, and how” of ATDD and illuminating the experience of participating in it.

 

Next, Pugh presents a practical, complete reference to each facet of ATDD, from creating simple tests to evaluating their results. He concludes with five diverse case studies, each identifying a realistic set of problems and challenges with proven solutions.

 

Coverage includes

 

•     How to develop software with fully testable requirements

•     How to simplify and componentize tests and use them to identify missing logic

•     How to test user interfaces, service implementations, and other tricky elements of a software system

•     How to identify requirements that are best handled outside software

•     How to present test results, evaluate them, and use them to assess a project’s overall progress

•     How to build acceptance tests that are mutually beneficial for development organizations and customers

•     How to scale ATDD to large projects

對於《精實敏捷接受測試驅動開發》的讚賞

“《精實敏捷接受測試驅動開發》講述了三位虛構的專案利益相關者如何使用敏捷技術來規劃和執行專案。這本書的格式非常適合,易於閱讀、易於理解,並且易於應用。”
—Johannes Brodwall,Steria Norway的首席科學家

“有人說,敏捷開發就是配對,是的,我相信配對的力量。然而,在閱讀這本書之後,我成為了“三人組”的粉絲——客戶或業務分析師+開發人員+測試人員,他們共同合作進行接受測試,推動軟體開發。我寫了一些關於客戶互動的模式和一些關於測試的模式,我喜歡Ken Pugh在這本平實易讀的書中與讀者分享的內容。這是一本充滿故事、真實案例和他自己豐富經驗的書。值得一讀的智慧!”
—Linda Rising,《無畏變革:引入新思想的模式》合著者

“敏捷宣言、極限編程、使用者故事和測試驅動開發為軟體開發帶來了巨大的收益;然而,這些還不夠。現在的問題是“我如何確保清晰的需求、正確的實現、完整的測試覆蓋,更重要的是客戶滿意和接受?”缺少的環節是客戶以其自己的領域語言定義的接受測試。《精實敏捷接受測試驅動開發》就是答案。”
—Bob Bogetti,Baxter Healthcare的首席系統設計師

“Ken Pugh的《精實敏捷接受測試驅動開發》向您展示了如何整合關鍵的需求思維、使用者接受測試和聲音以及精實敏捷實踐,以便您能夠正確高效地交付產品需求。Ken的書向您展示了如何通過表格驅動的規範與需求建模相結合,推導出接受標準。《精實敏捷接受測試驅動開發》是精實敏捷團隊成員的必備指南,可以定義清晰、明確的需求,同時通過接受測試驗證需求。”
—Ellen Gottesdiener,EBG Consulting的作者,《需求協作》和《軟體需求記憶喚起》

“如果您真的想給敏捷測試一個機會,並且只有時間讀一本書,那就讀這本。”
—David Vydra,http://testdriven.com

“這本書清晰、直接地指導如何使用面向業務的測試來推動軟體開發。我對這本書中的優秀資訊感到興奮。它結合了作者的經驗、對其他專家和研究的引用,以及一個涵蓋ATDD多個方面的示例專案。各種讀者都將學到很多實用的知識,無論他們是在自稱為精實或敏捷的專案上工作,還是只是想交付最好的軟體產品。”
—Lisa Crispin,ePlan Services, Inc.的敏捷測試人員,《敏捷測試》的作者

在接受測試驅動開發(ATDD)框架下,客戶、開發人員和測試人員合作創建全面描述軟體應如何運作的接受測試。這本書提供了清晰、直接的指導,教您如何使用面向業務的測試來推動軟體開發。我對這本書中的優秀資訊感到興奮。它結合了作者的經驗、對其他專家和研究的引用,以及一個涵蓋ATDD多個方面的示例專案。各種讀者都將學到很多實用的知識,無論他們是在自稱為精實或敏捷的專案上工作,還是只是想交付最好的軟體產品。”
