Topic: Let's talk about Test Driven Development 

Agile delivery within technology teams is discussed in many women's forums but Test Driven Development, which is the core building block is rarely spoken of. In fact, many. Only 20% of all Automotive software teams attempt at bringing agility to their code. Let's have an interactive discussion on why that is.

 20 years after Test Driven Development was discovered or re-discovered, it still remains a challenge for agile teams to adopt this methodology within their software engineering groups. Let’s discuss the benefits and the steps to take a test first approach. Let’s also address the reasons why TDD can be difficult. It’s not all doom and gloom - there are some things we can do to make Test Driven Development second nature to our development teams. 

In addition, Board Members Vanessa Miller and Jane Bishop will be making announcements about scholarship winners and scholarship opportunities at breakfast and lunch respectively on June 6th at TU-Automotive Detroit.
