Field CTO in IT Servicesa year ago

Really suprised that TDD is, amongst this audience, so little used. The idea of taking a user story, experssing the requirements in gherkin type language, then using that spec to create tests in a red/green/refactor approach has stood my developers (and the supporting QA engineers) move faster, deliver code that meets the spec, and given us assurance on system and regression testing long after the original code and test code were written. I dont belive that you need automated tests for everything but you do need it for the majority of things.

We are in a world obsessed with the latest technologies, where it seems everything even working should be updated or upgraded to avoid the "imposed" in my opinion "digital obsolescence myth". How inclined are you towards innovation and change when the existing systems are certainly working effectively?

Very inclined: I believe in constantly pushing for innovation and improvement, even if the current systems are effective46%

Moderately inclined: I'm open to innovation and change, but only if it clearly enhances or adds value to the existing systems48%

Not inclined: If the current systems are working effectively, I prefer to maintain stability and avoid unnecessary changes5%
