Ridiculously Simplified Synopsis edit
Characters/People edit
- RSpec: A behavior driven design (BDD) domain specific language (DSL) to test software.
- Cucumber: A BDD framework for creating acceptance tests in plain English that are mapped to tests which ensure the features specified are met.
- Behavior Driven Design: Behavior driven development (or BDD) is an agile software development technique that encourages collaboration between developers, QA and non-technical or business participants in a software project. It was originally named in 2003 by Dan North as a response to Test Driven Development, including Acceptance Test or Customer Test Driven Development practices as found in Extreme Programming. It has evolved over the last few years.
- Test-driven development: Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process that relies on the repetition of a very short development cycle: first the developer writes a failing automated test case that defines a desired improvement or new function, then produces code to pass that test and finally refactors the new code to acceptable standards. Kent Beck, who is credited with having developed or 'rediscovered' the technique, stated in 2003 that TDD encourages simple designs and inspires confidence.<1>
First Sentence edit
Behaviour Driven Development began its journey as an attempt to better understand and explain the process of Test Driven Development.
