Originally published on ProAgile's blog That was the question I posed on Twitter yesterday. I got a huge pile of answers, some of them surprised me! This article is my way of thanking everyone for sharing their ideas. You can see the whole picture in...

Fictitious people that might get real - and sue you! Finding realistic data for testing is often a headache, and a good strategy is often to fabricate it. But what if your randomly generated data turns out to belong to a real person? What if they complain and you get...

Last week I met Woody Zuill when he came to Göteborg to give a workshop about Mob Programming. At first glance mobbing seems really innefficient. You have a whole team of maybe 6-7 people sitting together all day, every day, programming at one computer. How could...
I was recently at the Software Craftsmanship Conference at Bletchley Park in the UK. This is a one-day conference for software developers, attended by around 150 programmers. All proceeds from the event go to support Bletchley Park, which is of historical interest to...
Last week I was in Oxford at “Iverson College”, which is a conference on the topic of Array Language Programming. There were about 25 programmers there, most of whom are expert in one or more of APL, J, K, or Q. It’s not my usual comfort zone, put it that way! I’m...
On Saturday I was up in Stockholm facilitating my fourth code retreat for Valtech, and my second Global Day of Code Retreat. It seemed to go very well. I tried out a few new elements, which seemed to make it go even better than the previous ones, so I thought I'd talk...
I've heard Joseph Wilk speak before, so I was delighted when he accepted our invitation to come to Scandinavian Developer Conference and share some ideas around "Acceptance testing in the land of the Startup". In this post I aim to summarize my understanding of what...
Hi – I´m Emily!
I am an independent consultant with Bache Consulting and chair of the Samman Technical Coaching Society. As a technical coach I work with software development organizations who want to get better at the technical practices needed to be agile, including Test-Driven Development, Refactoring and Incremental Design. I live in Gothenburg, Sweden, although I am originally from the UK. I’ve written two books: “Technical Agile Coaching with the Samman method” and “The Coding Dojo Handbook”. I teach for both O’Reilly and Pluralsight. I’m married to Geoff Bache, creator of TextTest. I am also on Mastodon as emilybache@sw-development-is.social.
If you’d like to know a bit more about me, my work, and the talks and workshops I offer, please visit my main website: EmilyBache.com. There, you’ll find information about my background, upcoming events, and the services I provide as a technical coach and consultant. It’s a good place to start if you’re curious about how I can support your team in improving coding skills and agile practices.
