Summary

Ken Pugh leads this informative presentation on ''Shift Testing Left to Build in Quality'' describing how Hypothesis Driven Development (HDD), Behavior Driven Development (BDD), and Test-Driven Development (TDD) work and collaborate for quality assurance. We learn how Shift Left Testing helps build in quality, the different aspects of Shift Left Testing, and how loopbacks and delays are reduced by Shift Left Testing.

Takeaways

  • Built-In Quality is a key value in development. Quality essentially means building the right thing in the most perfect way possible.
  • Shift testing left to build in quality revolves around Hypothesis Driven Development (HDD), Behavior Driven Development (BDD), and Test-Driven Development (TDD). With HDD, you create an idea for a functional change and a hypothesis as to the customer’s use of that functionality. While with BDD, tests are created for the functionality prior to its implementation to ensure you are building the thing right, and with TDD, tests for internal components are created prior to coding to check that they are working properly.
