TDD Conference 2021 — How TDD sensitized me to speed as a regular workplace habit? — Ragunath Jawahar

First International Test Driven Development took place on July 10th.

In this series, I will include every talk together with my notes and further reading.

Hopefully, a lot of readers will watch and rewatch the talks, as they are worth several reviews.

Let’s continue…

Bio

Ragunath has consulted organizations like Gojek, Dunzo, Tiffany & Co., Mizuno, etc., for a decade. He stabilizes fast-growing teams and reclaims codebases that teams are afraid to change. He is a fan of fast feedback cycles and also believes that you are only as good as the team you build.

TL;DR: Short feedback loops should fail fast, grab attention and suggest corrective actions

Talk

My Personal notes

• On a good feedback loop, the system tells you when something is not right.
• They help us catch mistakes early on.
• Good feedback loops are not as good as feedback loops telling you something is wrong.
• Negative Feedback loops help experiment much faster and figure out small solutions
• IDEs shorten feedback loops
• We must shorten the latency between the action and the consequence
• IDEs with excellent feedback guide through available options
• We classify stimulus under (Latency, Attention and Response)
• Grammar.ly works in the same way, shortening feedback loops
• UIs are very difficult to unit test
• Excellent feedback loops should fail fast, grab attention and suggest a corrective action
• improve feedback cycles measuring cost-benefits

The only way to go fast is to go well
