Automated Acceptance Testing as an Agile Requirements Engineering Practice

This article describes how the use of automated acceptance test-driven development (ATDD) impacts requirements engineering in software development. We extend an existing framework of inherent risks in RE by adding knowledge from literature and a case study. We show how ATDD can be seen as a mix of the traditional RE focus on documentation and the agile focus on iterative communication. ATDD can mitigate some of the inherent risks in RE. It also...
