Test-Driven Development. I wanted my new login endpoint to have sociable tests. See “Write Sociable Tests” on p.XX.) For example, when I analyzed the authentication code, I started with the endpoint related to the login button. The lack of testability was clearly the biggest problem.

If you have only instrumented your software with metrics, for example, you have no way of verifying that a spike in api_requests and an identical spike in 503 errors are for the same events (i.e., Neural nets are also inherently stochastic, because GPU calculations around floating point operations are inherently nondeterministic.

The VersionOne survey that they do every year on Agile practices shows us pretty consistently that about 30% of the people are doing test-driven development, about 30% of people are doing pairing, less are doing more advanced practices like behavior-driven design, or things like that. Better software is more secure.

For example code demonstrating these ideas, see my example on GitHub. When programmers use test-driven development (TDD), the code they test interacts with other parts of the system that aren't being tested. No broad tests required. 27 Apr 2018. James Shore/Blog. Easy refactoring.

Test-Driven Development. Inside the script, use a compiler or linter to tell you when you make syntax errors, and tests to tell you when you make semantic errors. You can mix the two approaches: for example, a team with a Node.js But you can also run additional tests as a safety net in your deployment script.

My preferred type of Agile coach is the player-coach : a full-time member of the team who has genuine expertise and leads by example. If there are people on your teams who can’t do that—for example, if they’re in very different time zones—either rearrange your teams or choose different teams to be Agile.
