Behaviour Driven Development

Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) is a process that aims to uncover and resolve communication problems by creating a shared understanding of the behaviour of a software product before it is developed.

That all sounds well and good, but how do you do that? This course will teach you how to get started with BDD and the tools and techniques that support it.

Course contents
This course covers, among other things:

• An overview of the various steps in the BDD process
• Applying Specification by Example and Example Mapping to create conversations around a product
• Creating executable specifications in Gherkin
• Using tools that support BDD (such as Cucumber, SpecFlow or pytest-bdd) to create automated acceptance tests and living documentation from your specifications
• Common misunderstandings and pitfalls when practicing BDD

There’s no better way to learn than by doing, so you’ll be presented with a variety of hands-on exercises throughout this course.
