Master BDD to deliver higher-value software more quickly
To develop high-value products quickly, software development teams need better ways to collaborate. Agile methods like Scrum and Kanban are helpful, but they’re not enough. Teams need better ways to work inside each sprint or work item. Behavior-driven development (BDD) adds just enough structure for product experts, testers, and developers to collaborate more effectively.
Drawing on extensive experience helping teams adopt BDD, Richard Lawrence and Paul Rayner show how to explore changes in system behavior with examples through conversations, how to capture your examples in expressive language, and how to flow the results into effective automated testing with Cucumber. Where most BDD resources focus on test automation, this guide goes deep into how BDD changes team collaboration and what that collaboration looks like day to day. Concrete examples and practical advice will prepare you to succeed with BDD, whatever your context or role.
· Learn how to collaborate better by using concrete examples of system behavior
· Identify your project’s meaningful increment of value so you’re always working on something important
· Begin experimenting with BDD slowly and at low risk
· Move smoothly from informal examples to automated tests in Cucumber
· Use BDD to deliver more frequently with greater visibility
· Make Cucumber scenarios more expressive to ensure you’re building the right thing
· Grow a Cucumber suite that acts as high-value living documentation
· Sustainably work with complex scenario data
· Get beyond the “mini-waterfalls” that often arise on Scrum teams

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Agile software development teams are seeking better ways to create business-facing automated tests that support the development of the right product. Cucumber is rapidly becoming the most popular tool for accomplishing this objective but, until now, no book has covered Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) practices and tools in sufficient depth. Teams have been forced to keep reinventing the wheel, or else to hire one of a handful of consultants at great expense. Behavior-Driven Development with Cucumber fills that gap. Richard Lawrence and Paul Rayner begin by illuminating ATDDs value, and showing how it can help you produce better software with less pain. Next, they present a complete BDD/Cucumber reference and tutorial that provides a common language for software customers and team members alike. Lawrence and Rayner thoroughly explain the role of each team member and stakeholder, with a particularly insightful emphasis on non-developers. Next, they show how to automate functional tests for web, console, native client, legacy, and other applications on the Ruby, Java, and .NET. platforms. To complement the Webs existing Ruby-oriented Cucumber resources, the authors provide even more Java (Cuke4Duke) and C# (Cuke4Nuke) examples. Throughout, youll find concrete examples and hands-on exercises based on the authors extensive experience teaching BDD to software professionals and helping software organisations successfully implement BDD strategies.
