Acceptance Test-Driven Development: What all Product Owners need to know
One of the most important practices for improving quality and flow on an agile project is Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD). This is far more than just a test technique, it is a way of working that brings the whole team to a shared understanding of what we need to do, and how we will know when we are Done for each story. In this talk we will go through the basic principles of ATDD and explain how Product Owners, Testers and Developers play their part in the collaborative process of identifying concrete examples of how a story can solve a business problem, such that the examples become the acceptance tests for the story.
