From Firefighting Regression Bugs to Reliable Delivery
Every release feels the same: delivery slows, regression bugs creep back in, and rework costs pile up. Your team shrugs and treats bugs as normal—you’re stuck in firefighting mode.
Many teams rely on Manual QA, but this creates the real bottleneck:
Business is frustrated because delivery is too slow. Manual regression testing is painfully slow. Developers ship code → QA runs tests → bugs are reported → developers fix → QA retests → repeat. This cycle drags out every sprint.
Customers are frustrated by bugs. Manual QA team can't keep up. You hire more QA Engineers, but it's never enough. QA Engineers have to "cut corners" in order to meet deadlines, causing regression bugs to escape to production.
Developers waste time on bugs, don't have time for features. Developers are spending 30% of their time fixing regression bugs. Over time, this number only increases—slowing velocity and delaying features.
Manual QA isn’t the problem—it’s the root cause. Slow delivery and buggy releases are symptoms. The real bottleneck is a process that relies on slow, manual testing.
Many teams have tried automated testing—E2E tests, unit tests—but most attempts fail: tests are unreliable, maintenance is a nightmare, and skepticism spreads: “It doesn’t work.”
Imagine eliminating manual regression testing altogether. ATDD replaces Manual Regression Testing with automated system-level tests that give developers fast, reliable feedback.
Here’s how it works:
Before implementing a user story, the team writes a system-level acceptance test.
Developers implement the story and get results in less than 1 hour—not weeks later from QA.
The tests confirm both: (1) The new feature works as intended. (2) No regressions were introduced.
The impact:
No more endless QA hiring. Manual regression testing is eliminated, saving time and costs.
Developers spend more time on features, not bugs. Instead of wasting 30% of every sprint on regression fixes, they spend nearly all their time on delivering value.
Faster, predictable delivery. With regression risk under control, the team can move at a sustainable, high pace of feature delivery.
The Trial-and-Error Path
Many companies try to introduce ATDD in legacy code by reading books or watching courses—without any expert guidance. The result?
Lots of mistakes and wasted effort.
Inefficient implementations that are actually worse than manual QA.
Acceptance tests written in an unmaintainable way: constantly breaking, costly to fix, and unreliable at catching regressions.
After years of frustration, the company gives up and reverts back to manual QA—having wasted both time and money.
The Guided Path
Adopting ATDD doesn’t have to take years. With expert guidance:
You avoid the common traps of trial-and-error.
You accelerate adoption—achieving results in months, not years.
When your team gets stuck (which they will, the first time), you get direct feedback and clear direction.
Instead of wasting time, you build sustainable ATDD practices that deliver fast, reliable results.
The ATDD Accelerator is a 10-lesson program designed to help your team adopt ATDD in legacy code—without years of trial-and-error. Here’s what’s included:
Live Training Sessions: Step-by-step guidance on implementing ATDD in legacy code, with practical examples in Java & TypeScript.
Sandbox Project (Hands-On Practice): Your team will build a practice project to apply ATDD techniques in a safe environment—then get expert feedback to ensure you’re doing it correctly.
Real-World Application: After practicing in the sandbox, your team will be ready to apply ATDD directly in your production codebase. When questions or blockers come up, you’ll have direct access to expert support via group chat support—no waiting weeks to get unblocked.
Duration: 10 lessons
Live Sessions: 2 hours per lesson
Start Date: 15th Oct 2024
End Date: 4th Mar 2025
This schedule ensures steady progress while giving your team enough time to practice, get feedback, and apply ATDD in real projects.
Enrollment is currently open. The deadline for enrollment is 26th Sep 2025.
