Behaviour Driven Development (BDD): Meaning, Process and Examples

Description : Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) is an agile software development approach that brings product owners, developers and testers together to define how an application should behave before any code is written. Teams describe features as concrete examples in plain language using the Given-When-Then format (Gherkin), which then become automated acceptance tests. This guide from Keploy explains what BDD is, how it differs from TDD, the core BDD process of discovery, formulation and automation, and how Three Amigos sessions help teams reach a shared understanding of requirements. It also covers popular BDD tools like Cucumber and SpecFlow, the benefits of BDD for reducing rework and miscommunication, and practical tips for adopting behaviour driven development in agile and Scrum teams.
