The document discusses Behavior Driven Development (BDD) for mobile apps, emphasizing its role in enhancing communication between engineers and business professionals to deliver software that meets user needs. It describes BDD as an evolution of test-driven development and outlines its implementation using Gherkin syntax for writing examples. The author advocates for using SpecFlow, Xamarin, and TestCloud to effectively apply BDD in mobile app development.

15. What is Behavior Driven Development
BDD is a process designed to aid the management and the delivery of
software development projects by improving communication between
engineers and business professionals. In so doing, BDD ensures all
development projects remain focused on delivering what the business
actually needs while meeting all requirements of the user.
BDD is an evolution in the thinking behind Test Driven Development and
Acceptance Test Driven Planning. BDD is also referred to as specification
by example.

21. WHY
Behavior Driven Development

22. 26% of installed apps are abandoned after the first use
Google 2015
The average Android app loses 77% of its daily active
users within the first three days after the install, and
90% within the first 30 days Quettra 2015

27. Writing examples in Gherkin
Feature: feature title
As a [role]
I want [feature]
So that [benefit]
Scenario:
Scenario 1: Title
Given [context]
And [some more context]...
When [event]
Then [outcome]
And [another outcome]...

31. Writing examples in Gherkin
Feature: Get weather for location
As a person who has to go outside sometimes
I want to retrieve todays weather
So that I know I should bring an umbrella

32. Writing examples in Gherkin
Scenario 1: Get weather for manually
added location
Given I opened the app
When I enter “Amsterdam” as the location
When I press the “Get Weather” button
Then the temperature in Amsterdam should be
shown

33. How to do BDD?

36. Conclusion
BDD helps building software that matters
Specflow, Xamarin & Testcloud are
a great way to implement BDD for mobile apps
