This document discusses SpecFlow and behavior-driven development (BDD). It defines BDD and explains that it is based on test-driven development (TDD) with a focus on collaborating with business stakeholders. SpecFlow is introduced as a tool for BDD using C# and the Gherkin language to describe features and scenarios in a human-readable format. Templates are provided to demonstrate how scenarios can be defined using SpecFlow.
