BDD Fundamentals
F Start Time : 08:30 End Time : 12:30
Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) is a set of practices and tools that enables business analysts, developers and testers to collaborate on a single source of truth: Executable Specifications.
Executable Specifications are living documents that serve several purposes.
- For business analysts they are a concise way to express how they want the software to behave
- For developers they are unambiguous requirements that guide and validate the implementation
- For testers they are automated regression tests
Executable Specifications are easy to read by both humans and computers. They are great for building a shared understanding across different roles on a software project. This shifts the focus from finding bugs to preventing them.
In this workshop you will learn:
- What is BDD and why should I care?
- Breaking down a user story into examples
- Turn those examples into executable specifications
- Execute these specifications with Cucumber
- Who does what and when (roles, responsibilities and timing on a BDD team)
