BDD focuses on providing a shared process and tools to promote communication between software developers and business analysts. It uses examples written in a readable language to illustrate desired system behaviors. BDD emerged from test-driven development, which uses automated tests to drive development. A key BDD practice is specification by example, which involves collaboratively writing examples to illustrate requirements and then automating these examples as tests.

C is a general-purpose, procedural, imperative computer programming language developed in 1972 by Dennis M. Ritchie at the Bell Telephone Laboratories to develop the UNIX operating system. C is the most widely used computer language. It keeps fluctuating at number one scale of popularity along with Java programming language, which is also
equally popular and most widely used among modern software programmers.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Behavior Driven Development (BDD) is a software development process that originally
emerged from Test Driven Development (TDD).
According to Dan North, who is responsible for the evolution of BDD, “BDD is using examples
at multiple levels to create a shared understanding and surface uncertainty to deliver software
that matter.”
BDD uses examples to illustrate the behavior of the system that are written in a readable and
understandable language for everyone involved in the development. These examples include
–
Converted into executable specifications.
Used as the acceptance tests.
BDD–Keyfeatures
Behavior Driven Development focuses on –
Providing a shared process and shared tools promoting communication to the software
developers, business analysts and stakeholders to collaborate on software
development, with the aim of delivering product with business value.
What a system should do and not on how it should be implemented.
Providing better readability and visibility.
Verifying not only the working of the software but also that it meets the customer’s
expectations.
OriginofBDD
The cost to fix a defect increases multifold if the defect is not detected at the right time and
fixed as and when it is detected. Consider the following example.
BDD – Introduction
6. Behavior Driven Development

This shows that unless requirements are obtained correctly, it would be expensive to fix the
defects resulting from misunderstanding the requirements at a later stage. Further, the end
product may not meet the customer’s expectations.
The need of the hour is a development approach that –
Is based on the requirements.
Focuses on requirements throughout the development.
Ensures that the requirements are met.
A development approach that can take care of the above-mentioned requirements is BDD.
Thus, Behavior Driven Development –
Derives examples of different expected behaviors of the system.
Enables writing the examples in a language using the business domain terms to ensure
easy understanding by everyone involved in the development including the customers.
Gets the examples ratified with customer from time to time by means of conversations.
Focuses on the customer requirements (examples) throughout the development.
Uses examples as acceptance tests.
BDDPractices
The two main practices of BDD are –
Specification by Example (SbE)
Test Driven Development (TDD)
Specification by Example
Specification by Example (SbE) uses examples in conversations to illustrate the business rules
and the behavior of the software to be built.
Specification by Example enables the product owners, business analysts, testers and the
developers to eliminate common misunderstandings about the business requirements.
Test Driven Development
Test Driven Development, in the context of BDD, turns examples into human readable,
executable specifications.
The developers use these specifications as a guide to implement increments of new
functionality. This, results in a lean codebase and a suite of automated regression tests that
keep the maintenance costs low throughout the lifetime of the software.

AgileBDD
In Agile software development, BDD method is used to come to a common understanding on
the pending specifications.
The following steps are executed in Agile BDD –
The developers and the product owner collaboratively write pending specifications in
a plain text editor.
The product owner specifies the behaviors they expect from the system.
The developers –
o Fill the specifications with these behavior details.
o Ask questions based on their understanding of the system.
The current system behaviors are considered to see if the new feature will break any
of the existing features.
AgileManifestoandBDD
The Agile Manifesto states the following –
We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it.
Through this work, we have come to value –
Individuals and interactions over Processes and tools
Working software over Comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over Contract negotiation
Responding to change over Following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
BDD aligns itself to the Agile manifesto as follows –
Agile Manifesto BDD Alignment
Individuals and interactions over
processes and tools.
BDD is about having conversations.
Working software over comprehensive
documentation.
BDD focuses on making it easy to create
software that is of business value.
Customer collaboration over contract
negotiation.
BDD focuses on scenarios based on ideas
with continuous communication with the
customer as the development progresses. It
is not based on any promises.

BDD focuses on continuous communication
and collaboration that facilitates absorption

When you look at any reference on Behavior Driven Development, you will find the usage of
phrases such as “BDD is derived from TDD”, “BDD and TDD”. To know how BDD came into
existence, why it is said to be derived from TDD and what is BDD and TDD, you have to have
an understanding of TDD.
WhyTesting?
To start, let us get into the fundamentals of testing. The purpose of testing is to ensure that
the system that is built is working as expected. Consider the following example.
Hence, by experience we have learnt that uncovering a defect as and when it is introduced
and fixing it immediately would be cost effective. Therefore, there is a necessity of writing
test cases at every stage of development and testing. This is what our traditional testing
practices have taught us, which is often termed as Test-early.

This testing approach is termed as the Test-Last approach as testing is done after the
completion of a stage.
