BDD Books

BDD books with pragmatic guidance through the entire development process

DISCOVERY: Explore behaviour using examples

Written by the creator of SpecFlow and the author of The Cucumber for Java Book, this book provides inside information on how to get the most out of the discovery phase of Behaviour Driven Development (BDD). This practical guide demonstrates good collaboration techniques, illustrated by concrete examples.

This book is written for everyone involved in the specification and delivery of software (including product owners, business analysts, developers, and testers). The book starts by explaining the reasons BDD exists in the first place and describes techniques for getting the most out of collaboration between business and delivery team members.

This is the first in the BDD Books series that will guide you through the entire development process, including specific technical practices needed to successfully drive development using collaboratively-authored specifications and living documentation.

FORMULATION: Document examples with Given/When/Then

What do good scenarios using the Given/When/Then-based format called Gherkin look like? Good scenarios can illustrate requirements, serve as documentation of detailed decisions, and be used as automated tests that are easy to maintain. The Gherkin format is supported by many BDD tools, including the different flavors of Cucumber, Behat or SpecFlow, but the ideas described in the book are also suitable for other BDD tools, like JBehave or Robot Framework.

This book is written for everyone involved in the specification and delivery of software: product owners, business analysts, developers, and testers.

This is the second in the BDD Books series that will guide you through the entire development process, including specific technical practices needed to successfully drive development using collaboratively-authored specifications and living documentation.
