Hi all I am doing my master thesis on "Requirements Traceability in TDD". I am doing a survey to gather views of test driven developers about requirements...
Ibrar, What exactly do you mean by "requirements traceability"? Who uses "requirements traceability" and what exactly do they use it for? Can we not attain all...
Yeah, everybody here can have his/her own interpretation of requirements traceability. Actually, this survey is a start up to gather information about what...
On my current project, they are asking for "requirements traceability". But, we don't really have a requirements spec - the customer asked us to modernize an...
... My first thought is that the tests are the requirements. And their tracability to the code can be seen with any good code coverage tool -- or a debugger. ...
Since I'm retired, there wasn't any reason to actually include my opinions in your survey, but your survey didn't let me look at the entire thing without...
Firstly I would like to thanks all of you for this interesting debate. Yeah I know requirements traceability has always been related to formal requirements...
... I was involved in Document-Driven approaches for quite a few years before joining the XP community. "Requirements Tracability" was always a promise of the...
I think this is an interesting line of inquiry, and I will consider filling out the survey when I am back in front of my computer. However, I also think the...
Hi, I'm a newbie when it comes to unit testing and tdd so I decided to start a little project to give them a try. After a few test I think I'm starting to get...
Hi, Matias, ... I don't think I've ever started with the thought, "I want to test a factory method." Starting with a presumed design (I need a factory method)...
Hi Matias, ... First: What George said. Second: It is a kind of integration test. That makes sense, because a factory is a kind of integrator. One part of the...
Thanks for the responses. Well, it's going to take me some times to get accustomed to applying tdd since my teachers and collegues prefer and apply the...
... I completely agree with George, when you're doing TDD you shouldn't face with a situation that you say I need this specific solution(Factory) and how ...

... Just for the record, I don't think that such a class should be called a Factory, it's just something that transforms one set of objects into another (if I...
** Folks - Given that this is a TDD group, I assume everyone uses TDD at the class (or unit) level but that may be an incorrect assumption. :) I was however ...
The BDD workflow consists of both the outer full-stack, scenario-level examples driving inner, isolated unit-level examples. There isn't really a concept of...
i'm not sure i understand you. it would seem to me that one could use a BDD framework that executed classes for which no unit tests existed for the ...
BDD isn't a framework or tied to a framework, it is a workflow. It actually encompasses a lot more than the coding aspect, including things like feature ...
Hi Corey, It seems to me that Eb's confusion is quite understandable since BDD has meant (maybe still means) a number of different things to different people ...
Eb, I try - and especially with my current project - to write outer level "acceptance" tests in the same framework as the unit-tests. So, I have a failing...
... And of course Dan North :) ... It's a great book and gives a really good sense of the flow, although it is Ruby specific. There are frameworks designed to...
... I still think Dan's original article on the topic is a pretty good starting point: http://dannorth.net/introducing-bdd/ I'd argue that everything in that...
If by workflow you mean the diagram referenced here - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/gg490346.aspx which I believe is pretty similar (if not exactly...
Hi Peter, I'm familiar with Dan's article of course. What it (naturally) can't tell us is what has happened to the term BDD subsequently. The sort of history...
