Atomic Object to speak at IQAA

Carl Erickson and Karlin Fox to speak on system test automation at IQAA Quality Enrichment Conference

September 14, 2005

Grand Rapids, MI – The Indianapolis Quality Assurance Association is sponsoring a day-long conference. Carl Erickson and Karlin Fox will present Atomic’s Systir framework for domain specific language testing.

Test-driven (TDD) development is revolutionizing the way software is designed, built and tested. TDD requires the automation of unit tests and applies to the daily work of software development – crafting classes, methods and blocks of source code. Applying the same approach at the project level leads to Story-driven development (SDD).

SDD drives a requirements conversation between developers and customers at a scale and point in time when requirements gathering is most effective. Developers work on stories according to the customer’s priorities; developers and customers create a shared mental model of the project, one story at a time, as each story is being worked on. The concrete outcome of this conversation is a collection of acceptance tests associated with each story.

Systir enables the creation of a domain specific testing language which in turn can be used to describe and execute automated acceptance tests thus realizing the full power of Story-driven development.
