FDD: Flag (and Test!) Driven Development
In this session we will explore how the well known Test Driven Development workflow (Write test, Run Test, FAIL, Write Code, Run Test, PASS, Repeat) can benefit from the addition of Feature Flags: Flag Driven Development.
The key idea is to expose, from the very beginning of our daily micro iterations, the ability of using real production data to validate the code we write EVERY FEW MINUTES.
Bring quality as a value to own for software engineers, and reducing the iteration length and cycle time to a VERY FEW LINES OF CODE every FEW MINUTES is the mantra of a truly modern Continuous Integration mindset.
