In many organizations, automated testing lags behind and becomes a bottleneck for successful continuous delivery. Either tests do not provide enough confidence or companies take a very traditional approach, resulting in releases either introducing substantial risks or becoming costly. These principles tell us our tests should be: Fast.

James Shore, author of the book “The Art of Agile”, wrote an article that covers the alternatives to acceptance testing. The way you write an acceptance test is to take a user story and then write code that tests the end result of a software process. When it comes to testing, my goal is to eliminate defects.

Test-Driven Development. It’s test-driven development, and it actually delivers these results. Test-driven development, , or TDD, is a rapid cycle of testing, coding, and refactoring. Done well, TDD eliminates an entire class of programming errors. TDD isn’t perfect, of course. Why TDD Works.

Automated tests are important. Unfortunately, many automated tests also waste a huge amount of time. The easy, obvious way to write tests is to make broad tests that are automated versions of manual tests. It’s also easy to make poor-quality tests that are hard to read, or end up only testing themselves.
