Stelligent hosts TDD Horror Stories on Tuesday, October 30th

Posted by: Paul Duvall on 10/18/2007

My employer, Stelligent, is hosting a roundtable discussion on TDD at our offices in Reston, Virginia called “TDD horror stories” on Tuesday, October 30th.

TDD, or Test-Driven Development, is a great companion topic to Continuous Integration as your integration is rarely useful without running a suite a automated developer tests.

It’s another wine (brought to you by Savoy-Lee wineries) and cheese party. Stelligent is also raffling off a an iPod shuffle

From TestEarly:

I often run into teams who attempted to jump skull first into TDD and eventually threw their bones up in frustration when either schedules became scary or they ran into scenarios too frightening to test. Are there areas where test-driven development gives you the spooks?

As you can see, it’ll be fun!

When: Tuesday, October 30th from 5:30 PM to 7 PM

Where: Stelligent?s haunted headquarters (map)

Who: Developers, Technical Leads, Architects, Project Managers, Testers…Anyone involved in software development

You must RSVP.
