Behavior-driven development: conference tutorial
Michael Kart · Journal of computing sciences in colleges · 2012
Behavior-driven development is a software development technique in which system behaviors are determined and made into test cases before the software itself is written. Benefits can include a richer and deeper understanding of system requirements in addition to making these requirements executable. Moreover, this technique helps guide software developers in knowing what to test as well as knowing how much to test. In this tutorial, we introduce the fundamentals of this approach, a language for expressing system behaviors, and explain how to use this technique effectively in the undergraduate computer science curriculum.
