Paul Rayner on Getting Started with BDD using Cucumber
Behavior-Driven Development (BDD), or Acceptance Test-Driven Design (ATDD), employs the approach of specification by example. Cucumber is such an amazing ATDD tool because it’s so good at mapping stories and acceptance criteria to automated functional tests. Product Owners, developers and testers collaborate together to write acceptance criteria in natural language and unobtrusively automate tests for them.
Cucumber enables the team to collaboratively create specific examples that specify what the system should do from the user's perspective. These executable specifications function as acceptance criteria for the user stories the team is developing. Learn about how Cucumber can help you build the right product, even if you work in Java, Groovy, or C#
