BDD by example: Russian bylina written in Gherkin language

 

To date, in our industry are very spread out a distorted understanding and an imitative applying of the User Stories technique, that leads to many problems in the development process, which I have to deal with as a coach. Most teams (78% according to the “State of Scrum” survey) use Stories as a “lightweight” requirements format completely ignoring the collaborative part of this technique or reducing this part to useless (and often harmful) minimum. If you want to understand the real essence and purpose of this technique, I invite you to participate in a half-hour thought experiment: writing one of the most famous Russian bylina (epic poem) “Three trips of Ilya Muromets” using Gherkin language. We will go through all stages of the life cycle of a Story in a BDD/Scrum process ‒ from the creation of the card to the adaptation after the first delivery to “users”.

Testimonials

  • CEE-SECR is different from other conferences: successful smiling friendly people give the impression that I was on another planet; The conference is well organized and comfortable for participants, there was a speakers’ room, WiFi, space for participants discussions with a board and a screen. A pleasant fact for me was that at the last moment, when I was about to leave on a plane one of the participants told me he was going to SECR for only 2 reports, one of which is mine.

  • What most struck me in this conference was excellent quality of some talks. They were not simply technical showcases of features, techniques and products—which would be very useful indeed—but fully inspirational talks and faithful reports from the trenches of everyday work. These days it’s so easy to find tons of posts, tutorials and articles to explain the hows; it’s much harder to get inspired instead. This is today the primary goal of a technical software conference.

  • It was nice being back in Moscow and at CEE-SECR. It is a very well organized conference you have, quite different in scope from the normal “western” conferences I attend — and I mean that positively. There is a more practitioner approach, but still some academic touch. And you seem to have a very enthusiastic — and growing — audience attending. So you must be on the right track.

  • Thank you for letting me participate in such a great experience. I really enjoyed all presentations I have attended. Great speakers and vast diversity of talks let me learn so much in such a short time.

  • As a speaker I really liked the conference organization — everything was quick and exactly as was agreed. As a participant I really enjoyed the conference program. Sometimes due to two or even three interesting reports in parallel tracks, it was almost impossible to make a choice, but I think it is a good thing for a conference.

  • SECR is an impressive conference: it covers a broad range of computer science topics, has engaged and excited speakers and attendees, is well organized, and generally a lot of fun to attend. It’s a great place to learn about new topics and meet experts in the field.
