What exactly is Behavior Driven Development (BDD)?
Behavior Driven Development, or BDD, is an approach of agile software development that focuses on bringing quality management and business analysis closer together. In BDD, the intended goals and results of the software are formulated in such a way that they can later be tested automatically.
How does BDD work?
BDD uses if-then formulations to describe the wanted goals and results of the software. These formulations can be translated into logic and then tested automatically. The Gherkin language is used for these descriptions.
What are the benefits of BDD?
BDD can improve communication and understanding between business analysis and quality management by clearly defining what the software should do. By being able to test these descriptions automatically, BDD can also improve the efficiency of the testing process and help to detect errors earlier.
