Managing Quality Debt
Presented by: Chris Sterling, Founder and CTO of Agile Advantage, Inc.
Software debt slowly creeps into applications and platforms when integrity is not asserted and verified on a frequent basis. Quality debt is a type of software debt that can be managed and monitored separately from the other types (technical, configuration management, design, and platform experience debt). This session will cover some processes and practices to help manage quality debt effectively such as:
- Acceptance Test-Driven Development
- Test-Driven Development
- Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD)
- The Three Amigos Pattern (common pattern titled by Bob Payne and George Dinwiddie)
- Push Button Release
- Asserting quality with Definition of Done
- Identify Quality Debt earlier with Tools and Dashboards
