Acceptance Testing Is the FUTURE of Programming
Are AI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot about to redefine how we write software? In this episode of Continuous Delivery, we explore a bold new approach to programming: using Acceptance Tests as “executable specifications.” Instead of struggling with natural-language prompts and unpredictable AI outputs, we’ll show how a clear, test-driven method can guide AI to generate code with more reliability and precision. Along the way, we’ll discuss key software engineering principles, including ATDD (Acceptance Test-Driven Development), CI/CD, and reproducibility—all of which help keep your projects on track. If you’re curious about how AI might transform your workflow, tune in to learn why Acceptance Testing could be the next big leap in coding. Don’t forget to check the links below for more resources, and let me know your thoughts in the comments!
In this episode Dave Farley, author of best selling books “Continuous Delivery” and “Modern Software Engineering”, explores this idea and his experiments with this different approach to programming with AI.
