X Topic Abstract

A lot of innovation is happening on “how to build” solution. But still there is gray area in “what to build”. As per Forbes only about 25% of the functionalities are used and 75% are not used.

That means our 75% efforts are not adding value to the customer. But our innovation and automation etc is happening on 75%.

So in this session i will speak on “What are the tool and techniques to identify to identify the right requirements/stories” of the customer. That’s the reason I say we need to “left shift the innovation”

I will be speaking on the topic 'Improving Agile Team's Efficiency via TDD and BDD.'

As the adoption of agile in software develoment has increased in the past decade, we have also seen the accelerated adoption of continuous development, continuous testing and continuous deployment. This new approach in software development has made the overall development process more dynamic by giving the developers the ability to introduce new changes in the applications and prevent bugs or breakdowns from impeding the scalability of applications.

We will talk about how test-driven development (TDD) and behavior-driven development (BDD), as test-first approaches has helped developers to produce bug free software. While we look at the difference between the two approaches, we will also explore how each one is different from the other, drawbacks and benefits of each approach. We will finally look at how these practices have improved the overall efficiency of the develpment team.
