Here at spriteCloud we love cucumber. It’s a test framework for behaviour driven development (BDD), that is a development practice that includes testing during development.
BDD is slightly different from other test methodologies in that it’s designed to be used in cross-functional teams. In this post I will briefly touch on these differences, and then proceed to explain how you would change your approach to writing test code in accordance with the BDD philosophy with the help of an example.
The target audience of this blog post is test engineers first and product managers second. Note that I use these terms as roles rather than job descriptions; a test engineer is anyone writing test code, and a product manager is anyone thinking up features for the software. You could be both of them at once.
