An introduction to Behaviour Driven Development (BDD)

Ever looked at a specification and wondered exactly what it meant?

Ever wasted time trying to figure out what might be impacted by a change in the specifications?

Ever been unsure which parts of the specification have actually been developed?

Ever looked at test scripts and found yourself unclear what was actually being tested?

Of course you have! There is a better way to write clean, simple, easily understood specifications, that can also act as automated tests.
