Revised and upgraded with the latest tools and practices, Behaviour Driven Development in Action, Second Edition teaches you how to integrate BDD into your software development process.

Almost half of all software projects fail to deliver on key requirements. Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) reduces these costly failures by building a shared understanding of how an application should work.

Behavior Driven Development in Action, Second Edition teaches communication skills, collaborative practices, and automation tools that ensure everyone from developers to non-technical stakeholders are in agreement on the goals of a project. Once you’ve established this collaborative structure, you’ll learn how to use automated acceptance criteria to guide and report on the development process. Alongside learning to apply BDD principles at the coding level for more maintainable code, this new edition is expanded with coverage of working with BDD in large-scale Agile systems and as part of DevOps practices.

Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
