I agree with almost everything in the article.
However if you're stuck in large organization that has been doing waterfall, almost any change is good news.
And you bet A LOT of very respected software companies, not IT departments of other companies, but actual pure software companies are stuck in waterfall.
So then this pseudo religious movement comes along with Scrum and stand up meetings and story points and blah blah blah, but along with the blah also comes test driven development, and iterative development.
Yes daily standups are a lot easier to adopt then TDD, but that's why the pseudo religious thing is useful.
It helps you drink ALL the kool-aid.
But game design on the other hand I'm not so sure about, how long does a game technology like a 3D engine last?
Is it long enough to justify 100% test coverage?
As much as I love TDD, I am not so sure about it in game dev.
- kragen 18y agoDoes Scrum require TDD/BDD? I think BDD is going to be limited where your biggest and hardest requirements are things like, "The game should be fun to play".
