Introduction To Behavior Driven Development Slides

The document introduces behavior-driven development (BDD), which is a software development methodology that encourages collaboration between developers, testers, and business stakeholders. It discusses how BDD uses examples and acceptance criteria to remove ambiguity from requirements and ensure a shared understanding. BDD follows a cycle of writing failing and passing scenarios/tests before coding or refactoring. This is compared to test-driven development, which focuses more on testing isolated units. Potential benefits of adopting BDD include reduced costs and time to complete tasks, fewer production issues, and increased productivity and confidence in quality.

TDD vs. BDD
Test-driven Development
Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development practice that
emphasizes writing tests before writing the actual code.

Benefits of Adopting BDD
Directly Measurable Benefits

A lower number of production issues

The delivery process costs less money


Indirectly Measurable Benefits

Higher confidence in the quality of the product

Increased individual productivity and motivation
