In Part 1 we have discussed how we can ensure shared understanding in remote environments using examples during the online requirement workshops. As mentioned there, those workshops focused on getting the most out of the precious time together, therefore the result (the rules and the examples) have been captured in a simple form, not using Given/When/Then.

And there is also a confusion area where we don’t even know where we are. So where are we now? Are we able to make well-prepared experiments and evaluate the results about COVID? This would be required to get to the complex phase.

In fact I learned about some of the items in this list while adopting BDD. And it was an exciting journey!

Dear BDD Addicts,
It has been a longer time since our last newsletter. It has been a long summer and pretty different from all the ones we have had before. September is always one of the busiest month for me and this happened this year again.
