Reqnroll v2.0 released

by Gáspár on May 30, 2024

Last week we released a new major version of Reqnroll: Reqnroll v2.0.

We released v1 three month ago and this time has been used to review many concepts and dependencies that we inherited from SpecFlow. We quickly ran into breaking changes (as expected), but our testing solution was not good enough yet to allow us to make smaller, incremental releases (continuous delivery). It took us 3 month to stabilize these, but now, starting from v2 we will be more capable of frequent delivery.

BDD Addict Newsletter 2024 April #61

by Gáspár on April 30, 2024

Dear BDD Addicts,

The best thing in work this month? Definitely the Living Documentation Event (LDE24), it was a conference in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Living documentation is a key element in BDD and actually I have to say that this conference has been a true BDD conference that I have really missed since BDDx and CukenFest was not organized. 100 people, friendly atmosphere, good talks, pizza, beer, old and new friends… It was really nice. I was invited by the organizer team to do the closing keynote about the SpecFlow – Reqnroll change and the role of living documentation in that: the first time I talked about Reqnroll at a public event.

BDD Addict Newsletter 2024 March #60

by Gáspár on March 29, 2024

Dear BDD Addicts,

I hope you are fine & busy. I’ve read an article about the decreasing demand for developers. It’s easy to get depressed by reading such articles (I usually skip them), but this one had an interesting sentence at the end that said that skilled and up-to-date people in tech are still in high demand. These are the times to learn something new! One of the evenings I’ve read an article that triggered me an idea how to solve a problem that I was puzzled with for more than a year now in SpecSync (the test synchronization tool I’m working on most of my time). And a week later I had the new improvement implemented and tested and I’ve even gathered a couple of other ideas as well.
