6. A little bit of history
Dan North

7. “How will the software behave under specific conditions ?”

8. Traditional documents

9.  Requirement Specs  Use Cases
 Functional Specs  Flow Charts
 Stories  Many more…

10. The problem…

11. “How should the software behave under specific conditions ?”

12. BDD offers…A template for defining behavior

13. The template
Pre-conditions
Steps
Expected behavior

14. An example
Given some precondition
When some action by the actor
Then some testable outcome is achieved

15. Another Example
Given some precondition
And some other precondition
When some action by the actor
And some other action
And yet another action
Then some testable outcome is achieved
And something else we can check happens too

16. easyB Script
description "As simple as it gets"
scenario "Testing easyB setup",{
given "there is some precondition"
when "some steps are performed"
then "result can be validated"
}

17. Executable Requirements

18. What’s the big deal ?

19. Define the behavior of the software

25. Tractability matrix
on steroids

26. Technologies

27. Groovy

28. Language for the JVM

29. Compiles to java byte-code

30. Excellent compatibility with Java
