Deliver Software Effectively with Behavior Driven Development / Acceptance Test-Driven Development Webinar
Built-in quality allows effective delivery of business value. A key practice to realize built-in quality is using Behavior Driven Development (BDD) / Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD). This session describes how the Triad (customer, tester, and developer perspectives) collaborates to create a shared understanding of the desired behavior of an application.
By creating scenarios that describe the behavior before implementation, the system can be designed so that it is easier to automatically test. This automation reduces delivery pipeline delays. The scenarios can help determine how to split stories to decrease the size of items flowing through the pipeline. Smaller items go through quicker.
What you will learn:
- The benefits of Behavior Driven Development / Acceptance Test-Driven Development
- Decreasing misunderstanding by forming a shared customer/business domain language
- Specifying behavior in stories using scenarios to create a shared understanding
