But can we take the idea of acceptance testing to another level and test things ot her than the "\;correctness"\; of our software? What if we could also specify and test the quality of interaction in our applications? W hat if we could involve a whole other community of people\, interaction designers and user experience professionals\, in not just the ideation o f our products\, but the actual execution of the software itself? In bey ond acceptance testing\, we'll look into who could be writing acceptance tests and all the things that we could be testing that most of us curre ntly aren't doing. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker Bio \;\n&# 13\;\n \;\n BJ Clark is a SE Portland based designer\, "\;extreme programmer"\;\, and user experience professional.
