Behavior Driven Development

Definition of Behavior Driven Development as it relates to Software, Software Testing, Integration Testing

Behavior Driven Development (BDD) is an agile software development process that encourages collaboration between developers, QA and non-technical or business participants in a software project. It emphasizes on developing tests based on the expected behavior of an application from an end-user perspective. BDD can be seen as a refinement of Test Driven Development (TDD), with a focus on clear, understandable language for all stakeholders involved in the development process. In the context of Integration Testing, BDD helps to ensure that different components or modules of a software system work together seamlessly and meet the desired behavioral specifications, thereby increasing the overall quality of the application and reducing integration-related issues.
