Event Description:
This month's APLN DC Chapter topic is an introduction to Agile Behavior Driven Development. In this presentation, we will look at what Agile Behavior Driven Development (BDD) is, how it is an evolutionary result of Test Driven Development (TDD), and how it shifts the traditional testing vocabulary from being test-based to behavior-based. From a manager's perspective, we will investigate how BDD facilitates a stronger bridge between stakeholders and development by using a common vocabulary; plus, we will also discuss how this subtle shift in thinking assists in writing behavior classes first, which is the ultimate goal of TDD-style thinking in the first place.
