BDD is a set of practices in which an application is specified and developed by describing its behavior from an external perspective.

In this 1-day workshop, learn how business analysts, testers and programmers can collaborate more effectively to create a shared understanding of product specifications that leads to better planning, fewer missed requirements, and fewer defects by minimizing ambiguity and rework. Learn how to express these requirements in a manner that provides long-term documentation of the system as intended and “as currently built”, and how to automate verification that this documentation remains correct with every build of the system.
