Interesting slides

The [=BDD=] is a [[requirements/testing specification approach -> http://dannorth.net/introducing-bdd/]] (rather than a development methodology, as it's [[originator Dan North -> http://dannorth.net/]] [[sells it -> http://skillsmatter.com/podcast/java-jee/how-to-sell-bdd-to-the-business/]]). But it's a cool one.

!! Tips and hints

Tutorials: there aren't many, it seems

* [[JBehave on GitHub -> https://github.com/jbehave/jbehave-tutorial/tree/master/etsy-selenium/java-spring]] the "Java Spring" part (not the groovy etc parts)
* [[How to configure JBehave -> http://blog.codecentric.de/en/2012/06/jbehave-configuration-tutorial/]] blog post

* [[java/jbehave -> http://www.slideshare.net/shadrik/bdd-with-java-8323915]]
* [[php/symphony -> http://www.slideshare.net/everzet/bdd-in-symfony2]] but great overall intro
* [[php/behat -> http://www.slideshare.net/IamPersistent/bdd-with-behat]] with good intro

* [[Prezi presentation -> http://prezi.com/5vsns5tkctdo/edit/#0_4221570]] work in progress

I see [[the Gherkin syntax -> https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/wiki/Gherkin]] as a culmination of these, see ExamplesOfBDD. Which of the ToolsForBDD use it?

!! What is BDD

A methodology for agile development - that's how Dan North, originator, sees it: http://skillsmatter.com/podcast/java-jee/how-to-sell-bdd-to-the-business (download the slides) - extension of user stories tightly linked to testing

! Overview of Behaviour Driven Development

The [=BDD=] is, as far as I understand so far, a requirements/testing specification approach rather than a development methodology. But it's a cool one.

Interrelated confluent sources leading to BDD
* reqts spec means - use case scenario template (with pre-/post-conditions), user stories (with tests on the flip side of the card)
* test-driven development and xUnit frameworks automation
* DSLs and self-documenting code (remember Knuth)

I see "the Gherkin syntax" as a culmination of these.
