The Power of Acceptance Test-Driven Development

Acceptance test-driven development (ATDD) is a programming technique that involves determining test cases before writing the application. It aims to prevent features from being implemented in a way that doesn't meet customers' needs and encourages collaboration between team members. Best practices for implementing ATDD include documenting the feature being tested, involving a friendly customer in meetings, and planning for a three-amigos meeting. ATDD is different from test-driven development (TDD), as it focuses more on the users' perspective and ensuring the right features are developed. Adopting ATDD can lead to benefits such as greater collaboration between technical and non-technical departments, alignment with customer needs, and faster feedback loops. The best practices for ATDD involve documenting the feature being tested, involving various team members, and creating a preview environment.
