BDD in Action

En savoir plus sur le livre

The development of BDD techniques is a response to a serious problem that software development teams face: effective communication and mutual understanding. If you are a project manager, you need to encourage developers to write tests, persuade testers to accept those tests, and convince stakeholders that something that is not production code can have value. It turns out that the key to success is creating a situation where everyone understands the purpose of the application, how it should behave, and what its key features are. A great tool that facilitates this work is the BDD technique—a comprehensive set of best practices and tools that support requirements analysis and test automation. This book provides an overview of BDD practices at all levels of the software development process. It contains information on discovering and defining high-level requirements, implementing application features, and writing automated acceptance and unit tests. It is an indispensable guide for business analysts, developers, testers, and especially project leaders and managers.
