17.5. Adding to the Storytests

Mitra and Don got together to write some further tests for the template stories. They quickly wrote the test shown in Figure 17.8, which allows for more than one item per guest.

Figure 17.8. Template with Less than One Item

create template	coffee break
one	coffee dispenser	for	20	people
one	hot water dispenser	for	20	people
one	coffee table	for	40	people
one	cup	for	0.9	people

They then used that template, "coffee break," to test that the number of rental items was rounded up. Don calculated out loud: "With 21 guests, there will be 21 divided by 20, which is 1.05. We round that up to 2. With cups, there will be 21 divided by 0.9, which is 23.33. That rounds up to 24." This resulted in the test shown in Figure 17.9.

As these tests were completed, they were passed on to the programmers, who used them in the implementation of the new stories in RentEz. Further storytests were developed over the next 3 weeks and these included some ColumnFixture tables for testing rounding with a variety of examples.
