User Story Writing

Class Description: This 1-day course introduces the basics of writing stories in place of "requirements", and discusses progressive elaboration of work. Further, specification introduces a syntax known as Gherkin, which is used for adding low-level details to high-level stories. Both of these concepts combine to replace or augment the traditional practices of requirement specifications and the creation of test plans.

Topics Covered:
