The speed of development of the IT industry as well as the computational power which are increasing exponentially, create great competitiveness in the process of development but also in the launching of software products on the market. Automated testing comes to help with these challenges by trying to increase the speed of development by offering fast feedback and trustworthy quality by means of repeated runs of the implemented tests. This isn't a problem just on a technical level, but also on a social level, especially in the area of communication and understanding the requirements of the client. This work presents the implementation of an automated testing framework which also addresses the social problems. BDD or “Behavior Driven Development” includes an approach which would like to line up the area of client requests to the technical area, offering a uniform platform of collaboration and development. The implementation of this principle is applied in an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) type project which is meant to demonstrate the technical solution which may draw together, both socially and communication wise, the business teams and the technical implementation teams.
