Abstract

While launching a new product, business professionals and engineers often experience communication breakdowns that can lead to project bottlenecks. Improved communication can prevent blockages from progressing by ensuring that everyone has the same information.

When business managers and software engineers understand each other’s needs, they can design applications that deliver real business value. Behavior-driven development (BDD) is a collaborative approach to designing and building these applications.

In this LambdaTest webinar, John Ferguson Smart, Founder at Serenity BDD, has teamed up with Manoj Kumar, VP of Developer Relations at LambdaTest, to discuss how to avoid BDD pitfalls and three simple steps to embed effective BDD practices into your teams. They also discuss why almost everyone using Cucumber and BDD for Test Automation is doing it wrong.

John also states the reasons for why BDD scripts could not deliver effectively along with characteristics of what effective automation looks like.

John starts by highlighting the red flags when implementing BDD and avoiding pitfalls. He explains how writing user stories significantly affects implementation of effective BDD practices. He then explains all the major BDD pitfalls that software developers often find and tips to make BDD work for them effectively

The webinar ended with a Q&A session.
