Agile 2008 - Emily and Geoff Bache - Programming with the Stars and the TextTest framework

I spoke with Emily and Geoff at the end of the conference and we
were all a bit tired.  Emily performed in the Coding With The
Stars stage at Agile 2008 and gave a great run for the gold. 
One especially interesting segment was the customer story testing
segment.  For this segment Geoff played the customer and wrote
a story test in TextTest and then Emily and  Michael Feathers
made it pass.  This appearance of the customer was well
received by the audience and judges.

Finally I get Geoff on a podcast.  I recorded him last year
but he will jump the queue with this one.  Geoff works on a
heuristic scheduling problem that is somewhat tricky to write
acceptance and regression tests around.  To solve this problem
he did wrote his own test framework, TextTest.

I hope you enjoy this power duo and I suspect we will see more of
them in the agile space.
