Acceptance Test Driven Development in developing the most critical peace-time public safety information system in Finland

The talk is about developing the most critical peace-time public safety information system we have in Finland. This ERICA system is unique worldwide as it is the only nation-wide system that provides contact to all security authorities without the need to forward the call further. ERICA has made possible to deploy a networked operating model in emergency response centre operations. Due to the nature of operations in which ERICA is used, our error margin is very slim. This sets high standards to SW quality and quality assurance. Especially the understanding of customer needs is essential to ensure efficient operations on both sides. In this talk we shall have a brief look into the Acceptance Test Driven Development method used in ERICA development: The problem we initially wanted to solve, how we succeeded in it and what lessons we learned.
