Writing end-to-end UI tests to validate a certain behavior and then automatically resolving a ticket once those tests pass seems really cool though. Not sure how realistic in practice, but it's definitely an interesting concept.
yeah, something like TDD but the ticket is actually a set of integration or end-to-end tests that must pass for the ticket to be "done". Hmmm, interesting...
edit: actually, thinking about it, you could do plain TDD and track the tests as the tickets. Write all your tests for the project first, then track how many are passing as the progress measure.
