- Learn Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) and Test-Driven Development (TDD) through hands-on activities
- Build the right thing through collaboration and shared understanding
- Improve code coverage and quality in the code base
- Increase innovation, lower stress, lower risk, and lower bug count
If agile is correctly implemented, adding Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) to the development process will not be difficult. It is an enhancement, based on TDD, that can greatly increase the quality of the final product. With small incremental changes, BDD can give your team that fresh start and a new way of thinking that will take your programming to the next level.
In this hands-on course, you will learn they key concepts of BDD, including business and team effects, participant roles, difficulties and traps, and more. Leave being able to practice and promote BDD at your company with primary and supporting technologies, transitions to using BDD, and more.
Additionally, we will learn and practice Test-Driven Development (TDD), a technique that uses automated tests to drive the design of the code. TDD is a development technique that results in tremendous benefits - higher quality, better rapport with team members, less risk. Furthermore, it is very easy to get started.
