Book Description
Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) is an agile approach to software development that insists that detailed requirements for a feature should be defined collaboratively by the business and delivery teams. This book explores, in detail, the collaborative aspect of BDD.
The book starts by explaining the need for BDD and describes techniques for getting the most out of the collaboration between the delivery team (those that implement the solution) and the business team (those that work on the requirements). You'll also learn how BDD can be integrated into the development process and answer some common questions, such as “Who should write the scenarios?" and “Should the testers or the developers automate the scenarios?” The last chapters discuss how to use BDD in agile and fixed-price projects and how to involve your business partners in your projects.
By the end of the book, you'll have discovered the importance of collaboration and learned techniques to effectively implement these ideas in your software development lifecycle.
