What isBDD?” BDD is a second-generation,outside-in, pull-based, multiplestakeholder, multiple-scale, highautomation, agile methodology. Itdescribes a cycle of interactions withwell-defined outputs, resulting in thedelivery of working, tested softwarethat matters.” –Dan North
Test Driven Development What is TDD? Define a test set for the feature/unit first Make the tests fail; Then implement the feature/unit; Finally verify that the implementation of the unitmakes the tests succeed Non specific Tests written as high level requirements OR Low level technical details Cost of translationFigure 1: TDD /
Tests specified in terms of desired behaviorBehaviorDrivenDevelopment Desired behavior – High level businessrequirements Provide scenarios/real world examples Illustrate behavior in an ubiquitous language Gherkin syntax Describe the what and not the how Automate scenarios

Advantages of BDD Highly collaborative process Entire team constantly talking toeach other Solve problems together All input valuable User stories written in astandardized format Good with any Agile Frameworki.e. Scrum, Kanban etc. Focuses on Behavior Minimizes cost of translation
Challengesof BDD Change is not easy! Business may not want to learn Gherkin Dev/Other QA learning curve Two extra layers (Feature files Step definitions)
Cucumber Translates Gherkin steps into executablecode Open source Used in several BDD frameworks SpecFlow JBehave RSpec Integrates with: Cloud services (Browserstack, SauceLabs) Test Management tools (TestRail) Bug tracking tools (Jira)

2 - What is Behavioral Driven Development (BDD) ? In this section, the BDD concept is explained, showing how it is used for both software and hardware design projects. We also discuss related approaches that enginee ring instructors use in Capstone projects. In software engineering, test -driven development (TDD) is a well-known methodology in

How BDD helps in Continuous Integration and Delivery Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI-CD) enables the features to be integrated, tested and deployed into Production on an ongoing basis. It is possible to do CI-CD without BDD, but with the BDD practices, the benefits are evidently better. ENSURING QUALITY ON SCHEDULE
Partitioned BDDs Circuits for which BDD can be constructed Represent multiple-output circuits as shared BDDs BDDs must be identical (with same variable order) Circuits whose BDDs are too large Cannot construct BDDs, memory problem Use partitioned BDD method decompose circuit into smaller pieces, each as BDD check equivalence of internal points (cut-point method)
Focus is on the business value that a customer should get from the software It helps to make requirements clear to everyone (Product owners, Business analysts, Programmers and Testers) It avoids misunderstandings what the feature is and how it could be delivered It combines the specification and the test itself Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD)
Verbal Behavior Verbal Behavior (V) is a class of behavior that is reinforced through the mediation of other persons (Skinner, 1957, p.2). Verbal Behavior is the application of behavior principles to language. Verbal Behavior categorizes language responses into different categories based on the function of the response Verbal Behavior is a subset of the science of Behavior Analysis
an implementation of these things in a book or article on Domain-Driven Design. For me personally, Domain-Driven Design is one the most interesting subjects in software development today. There is so much to discover, and there are many subjects related to it: Agile software development, TDD, and . BDD, but also living documentation, visualization,
