| Executable Requirements with Fitnesse |
The traditional view of requirements communication allows for a high degree of ambiguity and error. In this course we will examine the commonality between requirements and tests and how a requirement can be effectively communicated in the form of a test. By placing the emphasis on the specification of requirements in the form of tests we are at once both increasing the quality of communication among team members and ensuring that testing is not an activity that gets tacked onto the end of a sprint. Participants will gain hands on experience in new communication strategies and leave with practical experience using Fit/Fitnesse to formalize requirements into executable tests.
