Test Requirement Driven Development: The product development catalyst

by Michael O'Reilly

TREDD - Test Requirement Driven Development - focuses on improving the efficiency of the product development process. It allows Agile methodologies, such as SCRUM, to execute and deliver product features to the marketplace with greater effectiveness and efficiency. Many organizations and perhaps your own, struggle to bring new product features to the marketplace in order to keep abreast of constantly changing customer demands. So many companies that develop software using an Agile development methodology fail to realize the efficiency that was promised. As a result these new product development TREDD places a renewed emphasis on quality and accountability, and provides the insight to allow your product development and management teams to make the necessary changes in order to produce outstanding quality products on schedule, in a cost-efficient, highly collaborative, and creative manner. By understanding TREDD , you will discover the missing catalyst that is preventing your organization from realizing its return on investment and the creative innovation that an Agile development methodology can provide.

This was an off-cycle read at the behest of a work bookclub. Slim volume with plenty of interesting ideas about product quality metrics and measurement with a palatable Scrum wrapper. Though I have a hard time imagining this methodology formalized in an enterprise environment and find myself lately agreeing more with Erik Meijer that Agile is an industry cancer.
