SQL Saturday 673 - Denver

Thank you so much for all the great sessions submitted to SQLSaturday Denver! We had 95 sessions submitted. You made session selection difficult (in a good way)! We have published the initial Schedule. Selected sessions and times are also listed below.

Please take a moment to reply back to this email to confirm you are still able to speak at our event. We were not able to accept all the speakers who submitted due to room capacities and a desire to make sure that you would have good attendance at your sessions.  If you are unable to speak at SQLSaturday Denver, please let us know ASAP so we can give the opportunity to someone else. 

We tried our best to accommodate any scheduling requests, but please check the schedule to make sure we got yours. If you need us to change your session time, please let us know. 

Thanks again for the great content and for your time and effort. We'll send more info soon on suggested hotels, speaker dinner, and other details. We look forward to seeing you on September 16th. 

Title: Behavior-Driven Design and Test Automation: Agile Enablement for DW and BI Teams

Abstract: Behavior-Driven Design (BDD) and test automation are key practices that allow data warehouse and business intelligence teams to be more successful in their agile journeys. While there are lots of test practices and automation tools out there for software development teams to leverage, very few are targeted to data-related development and testing. Agile analytics practitioner Lynn Winterboer and DW/BI architect Cher Fox will share essential agile test foundations, describe BDD, and identify data-focused test automation technologies to help data warehousing and business intelligence teams get a leg up on these important agile practices, including a BDD exercise and a test automation demo!
