Two days ago, at the codemotion Berlin 2013, we, i.e. Michael Lex and Ben Ripkens, gave a technology lab. We had an ambitious plan: In three hours we wanted to show typical agile development practices like test-driven development (TDD), acceptance test-driven development (ATDD), continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD) and more while having the attendees work on a small demo project.
