Behaviour Driven Development

BEHAVIOUR DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT

Duration: 1 Day

Behavioural Driven Development (BDD) is a software development approach that has evolved from TDD (Test Driven Development). It differs by being written in a shared language, which improves communication between tech and non-tech teams and stakeholders. In both development approaches, tests are written ahead of the code, but in BDD, tests are more user-focused and based on the system’s behaviour.
