TDD, What It Is for Product Owner?
A product owner should always be looking for opportunities to bring value to the customer while simultaneously boosting their team’s efficiency. Acceptance criteria is a vitally important part of the user story, and yet it is sometimes ignored, incomprehensible or overly detailed. The key question to ask is: is the team reading, designing and implementing the code according to the acceptance criteria as well as the product owner’s expectations?
If the answer to that question is “no,” I wouldn’t assume it’s the team’s fault, since there are often better ways for the product owner to drive, clarify and define the acceptance criteria. One of those way is behavior-driven development, which builds upon test-driven development (TDD) by going beyond the development team. In other words, BDD is a technique used to write the acceptance criteria in a way that anyone can read and comprehend.
In addition to facilitating communication between a team, their company and its technical stakeholders, this approach has several other benefits:
- Allows the product owner to clearly define what is expected from the user story itself.
- Creates fewer communication gaps.
- Opens communication between the business and the development team. because multiple hands create of each user story.
- Removing ambiguous language between Product Owner and the Development Team.
- Increases agility and efficiency by turning the outcome of BDD into automated test cases which can be integrated into the continuous delivery pipeline and tool.
- More executable documentation and less waste.
I think that’s all the benefit of applying TDD for Product Owner, Thank you for visiting my blog!
