program selection system

Testing a program by comparing text files written by the current run with those from previous runs is an old idea, but one which has fallen out of fashion. This session aims to rehabilitate it as an agile technique and present a suitable tool, TextTest. We aim to show that there are applications where testing in this way has major advantages, and examine the advantages and disadvantages in a more general setting. We will include a practical demonstration showcasing Behaviour-Driven Development, but not as you know it, with TextTest.
