Collaboration with behavior-driven development (BDD)

- If you're a part of an Agile organization, you're already aware of the benefits of collaboration between teams to facilitate building features that hold value for your business stakeholders. But a lack of understanding around the requirements, what should be built, can still occur.

Hi, I'm Robin Beck, and in this introduction to behavior-driven development, we'll explore some of the benefits of the BDD process by highlighting how the philosophy can clarify details that often get lost during software development.

We'll investigate the basics of how using a BDD framework, like Cucumber, can provide readable acceptance criteria, improved collaboration, and identity defects earlier in the testing life cycle. Let's dive in.
