Learn Behavior-Driven Development

Nov 30, 2009   //   by Ben Griswold   //   Blog  //  No Comments

In this presentation, I provided a brief introduction into TDD and talked about the confusion and misconceptions around the discipline. I, of course, shared a bit about Dan North, the father of BDD and touched upon some crazy hypothesis dreamed up by Sapir and Whorf. I then gave a Behavior Driven Development overview (my impressions of the implementation and lifecycle) and then touched upon available tools, how to get started and I threw in a number of reference and reading materials which you will find below.

As an added bonus, I demonstrated how easy it is to include/exclude hyphens and alter the spelling of “behavior” at will.
