Behavior Driven Development (BDD) Training in Gaia

This instructor-led, live workshop in Gaia begins with an introduction to BDD, explaining what it is and how companies use it to promote effective software design, development, and testing. We approach the subject from a non-engineering perspective, focusing on end-users, their requirements, language, and way of thinking. We also address the communication challenges business stakeholders may encounter as they work more closely with their technical-minded peers.

By the end of this training, participants will know how to:

• Write concise user stories that capture the usage patterns of real software users.
• Translate their user stories into the behavioral language of BDD (Given, When, Then).
• Derive test cases from these stories, for engineers to implement and test.
• Understand the relationship between product requirements, acceptance criteria, and test cases.
• Demystify the technical jargon that hinders communication and understanding.
• Install and use effective tools for writing BDD feature files.
• Understand and appreciate what happens once the work is handed over to engineers.
• Play a more active role in the iterative development cycle.
