Session: Automated Acceptance Testing Anti-patterns
Friday, 13:00 - 13:50
Track: Test
In this session, we analyze the anatomy of an automated acceptance test, after which look at actual cases of repeated abuse of the written specification, its testability, or the underlying implementation – hence anti-patterns.
Prerequisites
It’s helpful, but not required, if the audience has some practical experience from implementing a suite of automated acceptance tests.
