For decades functional programming has disappeared from industry mainstream. It’s great that these ideas around modeling applications have reappeared with a huge force, but it can be difficult to see how they fit into our current Agile teams. I’ve spent the last year and a half working to figure out if and how TDD and BDD fit with functional programming. To take it a step further, I’ll break down how agile practices fit in with Lisp vs ML style functional languages.

This session introduces “Feature Injection”, a toolkit to help Business Analysts become effective on an Agile Project.

Feature Injection structures the process of “Example” discovery for business analysts so that they can feed directly into a BDD/TDD development process.

Feature Injection consists of…

1. Find the Business Value.
2. Inject the Features.
3. Break the Model to find the Examples.

This is a toolkit based on actual experience of business analysts on Agile projects. Feature Injection is a variant in the TDD / BDD family of tools.
