„There are two types of programmers:
those who write tests,
and those who will be writing tests.”

Why should we write tests?

The projectThe project
The first step in every project is a discussion
about the behaviors of the software or feature
to be built.

Behaviour-Driven DevelopmentBehaviour-Driven Development
BDD is a methodology for developing software
through continuous example-based
communication between developers and a
business. This communication happens in a form
that both the business and developers can
clearly understand - examples

TDD vs BDDTDD vs BDD
●
TDD focuses on the DEVELOPER's opinion
on how parts of the software should work
●
BDD focuses on the USERs’ opinion on how
they want your application to behave.

Evolution of TDDEvolution of TDD
StoryBDD ~ functional testing
SpecBDD ~ unit testing
Instead of writing tests you should think of
specifying behavior.

Scenarios (examples) go first...

StoryBDD helps ensuring that development team
has understanding of business on the same level
that client does
