Agile Pain Relief Notes from a Tool User

OCTOBER 7, 2008

We ran our first TDD Randori session at lunch today (approx 15 attendees). I was inspired by Dave Nicolette's session at Agile 2008 and used the Danilo Santo's paper on their Brazilian Coding Dojo as a guide. Coding is done at the single computer by a pair of developers. Talk about the advantages of TDD were good.

It all has to be very reactive; you keep fiddling with the code until it gets traction. Under those conditions, it doesn’t make sense to cross all the t’s and dot the i’s as the life expectancy of the code is weeks or months. We see the same kinda thing with unit testing. So you build, pivot, build, pivot, etc. But it got worse.

The next step for getting more confident in your deployments is diligently adding both unit tests and integration tests any time you fix a bug or add a new feature. Fully adopting the Test Driven Development (TDD) practice helps, as this ensures that any new or changed code will always have tests.

. “Extreme Programming turns the conventional software process sideways. Rather than planning, analyzing, and designing for the far-flung future, XP programmers do all of these activities—a little at a time—throughout development.” At that time, optimizing your Waterfall software process was all the rage.

As a critical part of DevSecOps, shifting left has become a key aspect of the modern software development process. Traditionally, security was applied at the end of the software development lifecycle (the right side) and treated as an afterthought. Adopt a test-driven development approach .

It defines a process of building software that relies exclusively on functions. In FP, developers compose functions to create new functions and write applications to avoid aspects such as shared state or mutable data. Later, C++, Java, and C# continued to hardwire this programming style into the minds of most developers.

I heard the other day that the software that goes into the SpaceX rockets are taken from HEAD of their source control (i.e. Trunk-based development ). And at the same time remove a mandatory 6 week regression test period (yes - with code freeze) to 0 days. This is not an improvement - its a game changer!

The reasons we want to make the stories small are plentiful; it’s easier to manage, implement, fix, deploy, and test… just about anything we do as a software development team. But it’s also faster to achieve the true goal, with smaller batches than with big batches, as any lean simulation/game will show you.

In the First Round Review article I'm Sorry, But Agile Won't Fix Your Products , Adam Pisoni, co-founder and former CTO of Yammer, contends that “While SCRUM did manage to rein in impulsive managers, it ended up being used more to exert tighter control over engineers’ work.” Yes, this means writing a lot more code.

The debate has ended, and the conclusion is: TDD works. Test Driven Development (TDD) for those that are unfamiliar with it, is more or less a "game" to be played while coding, with a set of three "laws" orienting a programmer's efforts. The controversy is over. Sorry." -- Robert C.
