 Test Driven Development (TDD) A Unit testing Approach
Red: Create a test and make it fail.
Write a test to call the code that you would be writing
as if it already exists
Create the new production code stub. Write just
enough code so that it compiles.
Execute the test and it would fail. This is a calibration
measure to ensure that your test is calling the correct
code. This is a meaningful failure, and you expect it to
fail.

Refactor: Remove duplication and improve

the design ensuring that all tests still pass.
Remove duplication caused by the addition of the new
functionality
Make design changes to improve the overall solution
After each refactoring, rerun all the tests to ensure that they
all still pass
3
Green: Make the test pass by any means
Write the production code to make the test pass
If you've written the code so that the test passes as
intended, you are finished. You do not have to write more
code speculatively. The test is the objective definition of
"done."
When the test passes, you might want to run all tests up to
this point to build confidence that everything else is still
working.

Collaboration is the Key

Specifications are elaborated collaboratively

Specifications use a common language
Executable specifications provide faster feedback

 BDD Benefits
Reduced Waste and misaligned requirements

Testing the Specification: Test cases are written in the language of the specifications,
so the specifications are directly tested.

Make changes safely and having faster and more reliable releases

By writing UA Test cases in features, the test cases become well documented and
understood by anybody easily.

Reduction in Business risks due to greater collaboration between agile team members

Same artefact used for manual and functional automation, also drives unit test
automation

Revolution reshaping the software lifecycle

Continuous delivery = Competitive advantage

Continuous Testing

Continuous delivery forges the broken link in the value

Continuous Integration chain, connecting business strategy with business results.

The revolution is just beginning, but its real and the

time to act is now.
- 2013, Forrester Research Continuous Delivery Is Reshaping The Future Of ALM

And organizations are fast adopting

Software developers, managers and executives

65% report that their organizations have started the
path towards Continuous delivery at some level

46% Think that their competitors have fully embraced

Continuous integration and Continuous Delivery

 Continuous Integration - Overview
Continuous Integration is a software development practice where members of a team
integrate their work frequently, several times a day. Each integration is verified by an
automated build including test to detect integration errors quickly
