8. Requirements and test management

This chapter covers Data-driven tests, acceptance tests, and BDD Approaches to integrating different languages and tools for barrier-free development Examples based on Ant, Maven, Selenium, TestNG, FEST, Fit/FitNesse, GivWenZen, XStream, and Excel

In this chapter, we’ll discuss how to implement collaborative and barrier-free development. We’ve already discussed tools that support release management, connecting the roles and artifacts in a task-based way. We also looked at how you can integrate the software delivery step into this process chain by integrating Mylyn with build engines. But build engines such as Jenkins, Bamboo, and TeamCity are only the infrastructure—they call your scripts, compile and test your application, and then package and deploy it. These steps don’t say anything about the quality of the software in terms of how (and if) it implements customers’ requirements.
