AGENDA
Intro to BDD
Gherkins
SpecFlow
WatiN
Demos
PART I BEHAVIOR DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT
Developed by Dan North
Response to some issues with TDD
Where to start
What to test and what not to test
How much to test in one go
What to call the tests
How to understand why a test fails
BDD is a second-generation, outsidein, pull-based, multiple-stakeholder,
multiple-scale, high-automation, agile methodology. It describes a cycle of
interactions with well-defined outputs, resulting in the delivery of working,
tested software that matters.
Dan North
Driven by Business Value
Realized through the Interface (GUI)
Tests are defined in a natural language (Gherkins)

BDD Practices
Establish the goals of different stakeholders
Drawing out features which will achieve those goals using
feature injection
Involve stakeholders through outsidein software
development
Use examples to describe the behavior of the application
Automate those examples to provide feedback
and regression testing
Use 'should' when describing the behavior of software
Use 'ensure' when describing responsibilities of software
Use mocks to stand-in for modules of code which have not
yet been written

PART 2 GHERKINS
Natural Language definition of tests.
TDD Arrange, Act, Assert

Gherkin Given, When, Then
Given defines the conditions that must exits for the test to be run
When defines the action a user will execute
Then defines the expectations of the Test

Gherkins Frameworks
Cucumber Ruby
Lettuce Python
Specflow - .NET
PART 2 GHERKINS
Example "Refunded or exchanged items should be returned to
stock.

Customer, Product Manager, Developer or QA engineer might
clarify the requirements by breaking this down into specific
scenarios

Scenario 1: Refunded items should be returned to stock
Scenario 2: Replaced items should be returned to stock
PART 2 GHERKINS
Scenario 1: Refunded items should be returned to stock

Given a customer previously bought a black sweater from me
and I currently have three black sweaters left in stock

When he returns the sweater for a refund

Then I should have four black sweaters in stock

PART 2 GHERKINS
Scenario 2: Replaced items should be returned to stock

Given that a customer buys a blue garment
and I have two blue garments in stock
and three black garments in stock.

When he returns the garment for a replacement in black,

Then I should have three blue garments in stock
and two black garments in stock

PART 2 GHERKINS
Programmer-domain examples

Example 1: New lists are empty
Given a new list
Then the list should be empty

Example 2: Lists with things in them are not empty
Given a new list
When we add an object
Then the list should not be empty

PART 3 SPECFLOW
SpecFlow aims at bridging the communication gap between
domain experts and developers by binding business readable
behavior specifications to the underlying implementation.
