We’ll take a closer look at the core intentions and ideas behind BDD and may delve into some examples using beanSpec.
Come along and feel welcome if you want to know more on what it’s all about that ‘BDD’ and want to discuss about afterwards.
You maybe have noticed some new articles and product announcements recently, that turn themself in the ‘tradition’ of Behaviour Driven Development (BDD).
