EvolvingWeb-Based Test Automation into Agile Business Specifications
2011
Usually, test automation scripts for a web application directly mirror the actions that the tester carries out in the browser, but they tend to be verbose and repetitive, making them expensive to maintain and ineffective in an agile setting. Our research has focussed on providing tool-support for business-level, example-based specifications that are mapped to the browser level for automatic verification. We provide refactoring support for the evolution of existing browser-level tests into business-level specifications. As resulting business rule tables may be incomplete, redundant or contradictory, our tool provides feedback on coverage.

Managing Agile Project Requirements with Storytest-Driven Development
2008
Storytest-driven development is a complementary form of test-driven development (TDD) applied to overall system development. Using FitLibrary eases storytest-driven development, which brings together requirements and automated testing ideas and practices to support agile software development. Storytest-driven development helps bridge the gap between what organizations really need from a system and the system that developers actually deliver. This bridge builds on several factors. Storytest-driven development builds on and reuses ideas from previous requirements approaches, turning some of them \"inside out.\" Storytests don't express class diagrams and use cases directly, for example, but they're likely to emerge; making such connections explicit is a fruitful area of future work. Another promising research area is to bring a stronger task-oriented (usability) perspective to storytests.
