Summary:
BDD – Testing Requirements
Many software projects suffer from a hidden requirements crisis. Theses are the projects where the client says “That's not what I wanted” or testers discover functionality and business value problems after the code has been written. The common root cause of theses problem is miscommunication; these range from cognitive bias to different domain terminology used by stakeholders, business analysts, developers and testers.
Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) solves the problem by enhancing User Stories with examples called Scenarios. Each scenario is an example of how the requirement should behave in a real world situation, and aid communication by allowing the team members to ask questions to clarify the understanding of scenarios.
Alan will demonstrate and discuss the different causes of requirements miscommunication and how BDD can bridge the communication gap using examples.
