Summary
Specification by Example is an emerging practice for creating software based
on realistic examples, bridging the communication gap between business
stakeholders and the dev teams building the software. In this book, author
Gojko Adzic distills interviews with successful teams worldwide, sharing how
they specify, develop, and deliver software, without defects, in short
iterative delivery cycles.
About the Technology
Specification by Example is a collaborative method for specifying requirements
and tests. Seven patterns, fully explored in this book, are key to making the
method effective. The method has four main benefits: it produces living,
reliable documentation; it defines expectations clearly and makes validation
efficient; it reduces rework; and, above all, it assures delivery teams and
business stakeholders that the software that's built is right for its purpose.
