Well we already sort of arranged for Brett and Stephen in December. Maybe early next year, this sounds interesting.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Nov 10, 2007 12:53 PM, Brian Sheldon <<a href="mailto:brian_s_sheldon@yahoo.com">

<br>I probably couldn't be the lunch thing but an evening would be fine. <br>Below is one idea I've been working on, let me know if you think it <br>would be of interest to the OKC JUG.<br><br>Build the Right System with Test Driven Requirements - Lean Pull Applied
<br>The software profession (if one truly exists) faces many
challenges <br>including our general approach to requirements. A high percentage of <br>implemented functionality is seldom used and requirement deficiencies <br>are frequented cited among the top five reasons for project failure.
<br>How can we as software professionals and craftsmen know that we are <br>producing the most valuable system at just the right time for our <br>users? The concept of "pull" from lean manufacturing, in combination
<br>with agile values and practices, provides a powerful guide for how we <br>can improve our profession by allowing the incremental specification <br>of functionality to "pull" the creation of working software. In this
<br>workshop participants will experience how a real working system can <br>be constructed from the ground up through the definition of <br>executable specifications. In a cycle comparable to that of
Test <br>Driven Development participants will see how, through a series of <br>micro-iterations, requirements can pull the creation of executable <br>specifications, integration tests, unit tests, and production code.
<br>Along the way we will also touch on related subjects such as code <br>coverage, mocking, and user-interface testing.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Rod<br><br>On Oct 12, 2007, at 12:25 PM, Brian Sheldon wrote:<br><br>> How is it going? Not too bad here. Just waiting around to get layed
