More about Behaviour Driven Development (BDD)
Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) is an agile software development methodology that encourages collaboration between developers, QA engineers, and non-technical stakeholders. By using a shared language – typically in the form of Given/When/Then scenarios written in Gherkin – requirements are expressed as executable specifications. BDD bridges the gap between business requirements and technical implementation, significantly reducing misunderstandings in the development process.Further resources:
History
BDD was introduced in the early 2000s by Daniel Terhorst-North as an evolution of Test Driven Development (TDD). Dissatisfied with the focus on tests rather than behavior, he began developing JBehave in 2003 – a replacement for JUnit that used the language of behavior instead of testing. In 2007, the Gherkin language was introduced, formalizing the Given/When/Then pattern and becoming the foundation for many BDD frameworks.
With the release of Cucumber – initially for Ruby, later for many other languages – BDD became widely adopted in the software development industry. Today, BDD is an established part of agile development processes and is used by teams worldwide to improve communication between technical and non-technical stakeholders.
