How do you known you're building the Force.com apps that business values the most? Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) has evolved to help developers create code that is self-documenting, has an automated test suite, and is open to change. This results in apps being much easier to adapt to the changes in your organization. Using features and scenarios, and a little neuro-linguistic programming, BDD also helps developers understand what business really wants the most. Not everything can be high priority! Join us to understand how to apply BDD to your Apex development to create clean code, and communicate effectively with business to build software that matters.
