Elevator Pitch
Event Modeling with TDD is a powerful combination to incrementally deliver working software. This session will guide you through a complete event sourcing workflow, turning sticky notes into tests.
Description
Event Modeling is a tool to understand the domain of a business process. TDD is a practice to guide the development of software. Combined, these two provide a framework for incrementally delivering customer value. In this session you will see how to collaborate with stakeholders in a language the business understands. Then construct unit test cases from the events, commands, and constraints written on sticky notes. These unit tests match one-to-one with the expected domain behavior. Your product owner will understand the tests you write!
Finally, we will dive deep into actual code to implement the complete workflow using RangeDB, an open source event store written in Go.
