At the Agile Alliance Functional Testing Tools (AAFTT) Visioning Workshop, Elisabeth Hendrickson proposes a high level structure to standard where the elements in a functional test go. She discusses how xUnit and FIT provide significant value through the power of organizing elements.

Using Fit: An Open-Source Testing Framework

Rick Mugridge is the lead author of the first book on storytests: “Fit for Developing Software”. He has developed and is evolving FitLibrary to better support storytest driven development. He is a leading thinker and inventor in this area, and consults and coaches internationally in storytesting, executable specifications, and agile software development.  In this presentation to Google TechTalks, he raises four software development issues and show how Fit can be used to address them. The issues are as follows:
(1) How can we improve test coverage on a legacy system without discouraging its evolution?
(2) Now that we have a successful product with a great UI, how do we provide program access, such as through SOAP?
(3) How can QA be involved earlier and more effectively?
(4) How can product managers better utilize their expertise?
