Behavior Driven Testing (BDT) in Agile

I am speaking in SoftTec 2012 in Bangalore on 14th July on Behavior Driven Testing (BDT) in Agile. 


Abstract: 

In this talk, I will explain Agile Testing and how a technique called "Behavior Driven Testing (BDT)" can make your testing more effective. I will also cover the differences between BDD (Behavior Driven Development) and BDT, how BDT affects the Test Pyramid, and the value proposition of using BDT. 

Feedback on WAAT

I am considering adding some functionality to WAAT. However, before I do that, I would like to know what your opinion is.


So, to all those who are either using, tried using, or, want to use WAAT: Can you please provide me some feedback based on the following questions:

• Which flavor of WAAT do you use? 
• Java
• Ruby
• Both
• Have you faced any problems using WAAT? 
• If yes, what problems? How did you resolve them?
• WAAT using the httpSniffer approach has known limitations (namely: does not support https request capturing, and on non-Windows platform you need to run the tests using root access). 
• Have you run into these limitations? 
• How did you resolve the issue?
• Do you find the WAAT wiki useful?
• If not, what if done differently will provide more value?
• Any other thoughts / comments on how WAAT can be made better?

Looking forward for your comments.

Thanks.

Anand
