BDD Example
Given I have 10 dollars
When I purchase a lottery ticket for 2 dollars
Then I will have 8 dollars
And I will get a lottery ticket
And I will be congratulated for paying the mathematically challenged tax.
Given I have 1 dollar
When I purchase a lottery ticket for 2 dollars

Adding two numbers badly
/* Return the sum of two integers */
/* Return null if one of that parms is not an integer */
function addWholeNumbers(a, b) {
if (a % 1 === 0 && b % 1 === 0) {
return a + b;
} else {
return null;

Example of dangerous test
/*
The following is a simple example of real outcomes from mandating code coverage
minimums instead of measuring delivered quality with deploy frequency and defect rates.
This test will result in 100% code coverage but tests nothing.
If you find tests like these, DELETE THEM IMMEDIATLY. They provide less value than
not having a test. It's better to know that this wasn't tested.

Construction Software
Well understood need Discovering the need
Applying known solutions Innovating new solutions
Done when signed off Done when replaced
Value is known before delivery Work must be delivered to have value validated
Quality can be inspected Quality is unknown without user feeddback
Exspensive or impossible to change Cheap and easy to change
Detailed planning is critical Detailed planning is waste

Scenario: A story is ready to start
Given we have a story to refine
When we decompose the story
And we agree that any team member with the technical skills can work on the story
Then the team member should be able to complete the story in less than 3 days
And the team member should not need to ask clarifying questions
And the team memeber should have all information needed to test the story
