[Podcast] TDD, BDD, And All of the other DD’s with Ted Neward, Jessica Kerr, and Glenn Block

Summary: In this podcast episode I sit down with Ted Neward, Jessica Kerr, and Glenn Block at the CodeMash conference in Sandusky Ohio. The conversation starts with a discussion on Test Driven Development, then moves on to Behavior Driven Development and various other methods to shorten the feedback loop. Not only between a developer and their code, but also between the business, the development team, and the user.   Additional resources: Bug Tracking in TeamPulse About the guests: Ted Neward Ted is an Architectural Consultant with Neudesic, LLC. He lives out of a suitcase, travels with four laptops, eight mobile devices, three tablets, and enough cables to restock a small electronics store. He pays taxes in the Pacific Northwest with his wife Charlotte, and occasionally wonders who these two nearly-grown men living in his house are, though they keep calling him “Dad” as if that’s supposed to be a hint. Jessica Kerr Jessica spent twelve years in enterprise application development before sneaking off to work for a startup. She loves the St. Louis, MO, user groups and single-malt scotch, preferably at the same time. Two school-age daughters remind her that life, like agile development, is all about embracing change.
