Abstract

A few years ago, Acceptance Testing was one of the more poorly understood concepts of XP, with both tools and advice thin on the ground. This has meant that different people have gone different ways with it and an overview of knowledge gathered in the process has been lacking.

The presenters are three such people, each of whom has developed a different tool for acceptance testing: TextTest+xUseCase, Fit+FitLibrary and Exactor, respectively. We are aware that there are lots of other tools around, both within the XP community and outside it. The aim of this workshop is to gather together all this disparate knowledge and start to work towards a common understanding of ‘best practice’.
