How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
Behavior Driven Development: How to evolve systems that provide real business value
Or: using a DSL to confirm expected system behavior
Speaker: Christian Hassa, Techtalk
Nowadays almost everyone follows some kind of agile software development practice with the goal to deliver true business value for the least possible efforts. However, establishing agreements on specification details is tough when you truly want to apply agile principles: tracing and validating them in each iteration throughout the product life cycle is what most teams struggle with, when it comes to reality in their projects. Another key challenge is to overcome the communication barriers and silo attitude of different project stakeholders. Classic approaches rely on stakeholder specific artifacts such as product requirements document, functional specification, architecture and design concept, test specification, etc. – which tend to be inconsistent and often even contradict with each other. Behavior Driven Development (BDD) is a practice, which ties well into agile methodologies like Scrum, and helps solving these challenges: project stakeholders collaborate to evolve a domain specific, human readable language, which is used to give examples of the expected system behavior. These examples can be bound to the actual implementation, which allows automated verification. The talk gives an introduction to the concept of BDD and shows, how it can be put into reality using SpecFlow, a Cucumber compatible BDD tool for the .NET platform.
