Agentic BDD/TDD (Remote)

AI coding agents are changing how we write software, but what does that mean for how we write and trust our tests?

In this session, we’ll explore how Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) evolves in an agentic workflow using TestBox 7 and Agentic ColdBox. You’ll learn how to use ColdBox’s new AI capabilities, Guidelines, Skills, and Agents- to generate framework-aware, maintainable tests that follow real BDD practices instead of generic boilerplate.

We’ll also dive into what’s new in TestBox 7, including real-time streaming test execution, dry-run test discovery, and improved CLI tooling. These features make it easier to audit, validate, and iterate on AI-generated tests, providing fast feedback without sacrificing confidence.

Through live demos, we’ll show how to:

• Guide AI using ColdBox-native testing conventions
• Audit and validate AI-generated test suites before execution
• Use streaming feedback to accelerate agent-driven workflows

If you’re using (or planning to use) AI in your development process, this session will give you practical patterns to ensure your tests remain a source of truth—not a source of risk.
