The importance of behaviour

"Every new feature we need to change the tests". If this situation is common to you, probably you have not a good tests definition.

In the world of software development, agile methodologies have revolutionized the way we create and deliver high-quality products quickly and efficiently. However, a key piece that is often overlooked in this process is the maintainability and readability of the tests. In this talk, we'll explore how test quality can have a significant impact on a team's ability to consistently and sustainably deliver value in an agile environment.

We will discuss the importance of writing maintainable and readable tests as an integral part of agile practices. We'll discuss how well-designed tests not only ensure code stability, but also improve collaboration within the team, facilitate early detection of errors, and promote a fast feedback loop.
