What is BDD?

Common Language

Business Developer

Business Analyst

Tester

Executable Specifications

OutsideIn

Value Driven

\So why use BDD?

Only build features that add real value

Less wasted effort

Better communication

Higher quality, better tested product

Traceability

BDD - Requirements Analysis and Communication

Examples/Scenarios

Stories

Features

Capabilities

Acceptance Criteria

“We are going to build an online classifieds website”

Successful projects start with a shared vision

You define goals to achieve your vision

“We can increase advertising revenue by letting sellers post their classified ads online”

“Let’s get more sales for our advertisers by making the ads easier to find online.”

A good goal should add value to the businessIncrease revenueReduce costsAvoid future costsProtect revenue

Determining the value of a goal

“Increase advertising revenue by allowing sellers to post classified ads online”

“Reduce the costs involved in publishing a classified ad by allowing sellers to post them online themselves. ”

“Prevent current customers switching to a competing product by providing support for online credit card payments”

What does the customer really need?

I want users to be able to search for products by keyword Why?

So that potential buyers can find the articles they want

So that our sellers can sell their stuff fasterWhy?

So that they keep selling their stuff on our siteWhy?

So that we keep earning money when they post their ads with us

What does the customer really need?

Good teams push back!Users tend to express requirements as implementationsWe need to find the business need behind the suggested implementation

I want users to be able to search by keyword

So in order to make the site more attractive for sellersBuyers need to be able to find things easily

A search feature might be one way to achieve this

But full-text searches might be more effective than keywords

“Let’s get more sales for our advertisers by making the ads easier to find online.”

Notify potential buyers about new itemsIn order to increase sales of advertised articlesAs a sellerI want previous buyers to know about new items that they might be interested in buying

Search for online adsIn order to increase sales of advertised articlesAs a sellerI want buyers to be able to easily find ads for articles they want to buy

Features and capabilities help deliver these goals

Feature Injection - what features do you do first?

Our goals say what business value we need to deliverWe implement the minimum features required to deliver this business value

Search for online adsIn order to increase sales of advertised articlesAs a sellerI want buyers to be able to easily find ads for articles they want to buy

The goal comes first

The stakeholder is secondary

The feature must be required to achieve the goal

We use examples and stories to explore the features

“Searching by category”

Search for online ads

“Searching by keyword and category”

We use examples and stories to explore the features

Search for online ads

Searching by keyword and locationGiven Sally wants to buy a puppy for her son

When she looks for ‘puppy’ in the ‘Pets and Animals’ category

Then she should obtain a list of ads for puppies for sale.

Examples and scenarios become acceptance criteria

Acceptance Criteria illustrate and validate the stories

Searching by keyword and locationGiven Sally wants to buy a puppy for her son

When she looks for ‘puppy’ in the ‘Pets and Animals’ category

Then she should obtain a list of ads for puppies for sale.

Scenario: Searching by keyword and location

Given Sally wants to buy a present for her son When she looks for the present in a given category Then she should obtain a list of matching ads for sale.

Examples:

Present Category Expected Keywordspuppy Pets & Animals labradorkitten Pets & Animals burmesekitten Toys fluffy cat

Organize your requirements

Requirements can come from many sources...

CapabilityIn order to increase the number of items I sellAs a sellerI want buyers to be able to view ads for items they might want to purchase

FeatureIn order to increase sales of advertised articlesAs a sellerI want potential buyers to be able to display only the ads for articles that they might be interested in purchasing.

StoryIn order to find the items I am interested in fasterAs a buyerI want to be able to list all the ads with a particular keyword in the description or title.

Goal: In order to increase revenue from commissions on classified ads salesAs the head of the classified ads departmentI want to increase the number of items sold via our classified ads

Keep them organized!

Requirements can come from many sources...

BDD - Test Automation and Beyond

The original Java BDD framework

Narrative:In order to increase sales of advertised articlesAs a sellerI want buyers to be able to easily find ads for articles they want to buy

Given Sally wants to buy a puppy for her son When she looks for 'puppy' in the 'Pets and Animals' category Then she should obtain a list of ads for puppies for sale.

search_by_keyword_and_location.story

Given Sally wants to buy a <present> for her son When she looks for '<present>' in the '<category>' category Then she should obtain a list of ads for <expected> for sale.

Examples:|present |category |expected||puppy |Pets & Animals | puppies||kitten |Pets & Animals | kittens||seiko |Jewellery & Watches| watch |

Given Sally wants to buy a puppy for her son When she looks for 'puppy' in the 'Pets and Animals' category Then she should obtain a list of puppy ads

public class SearchAdsSteps { @Steps BuyerSteps buyer;

@Given("Sally wants to buy a $present for her son") public void buyingAPresent(String present) { buyer.opens_home_page(); }

@When("she looks for $keyword in the $category category") public void adSearchByCategoryAndKeyword(String category, String keyword) { buyer.chooses_category_and_keywords(category, keyword); buyer.performs_search(); }

@Then("she should obtain a list of $keyword ads") public void shouldOnlySeeAdsContainingKeyword(String keyword) { buyer.should_only_see_results_with_titles_containing(keyword); }}

2public class BuyerStories extends JUnitStories { public BuyerStories() { configuredEmbedder().embedderControls().doGenerateViewAfterStories(true).doIgnoreFailureInStories(false) .doIgnoreFailureInView(true).doVerboseFailures(true).useThreads(2).useStoryTimeoutInSecs(60); }

@Override public Configuration configuration() { return new MostUsefulConfiguration(); }

@Override public InjectableStepsFactory stepsFactory() { return new InstanceStepsFactory(configuration(), new TraderSteps(new TradingService()), new AndSteps()); }

@Override protected List<String> storyPaths() { String codeLocation = codeLocationFromClass(this.getClass()).getFile(); return new StoryFinder().findPaths(codeLocation, asList("**/*.story", "**/traders_can_be_subset.story"), asList(""), "file:" + codeLocation); }}

public class BuyerStories extends ThucydidesJUnitStories {}

Now available in JVM flavor!

Feature:In order to increase sales of advertised articlesAs a sellerI want buyers to be able to easily find ads for articles they want to buy

Given Sally wants to buy a "puppy" for her son When she looks for "puppy" in the "Pets and Animals" category Then she should obtain a list of "puppy" ads

Given Sally wants to buy a <present> for her son When she looks for '<present>' in the '<category>' category Then she should obtain a list of ads for <expected> for sale.

Examples:|present |category |expected||puppy |Pets & Animals | puppies||kitten |Pets & Animals | kittens||seiko |Jewellery & Watches| watch |

@Then("^she should obtain a list of \"([^\"]*)\" ads$") public void shouldOnlySeeAdsContainingKeyword(String keyword) { buyer.should_only_see_results_with_titles_containing(keyword); }}

100% Groovy

scenario "Searching by keyword and location", { given "Sally wants to buy a puppy for her son" when "she looks for 'puppy' in the 'Pets and Animals' category" then "she should obtain a list of ads for puppies for sale"}

scenario "Searching by keyword and location", { given "Sally wants to buy a #present for her son" when "she looks for '#present' in the '#category' category" then "she should obtain a list of ads for #expected for sale" where "examples should be", { present = ['puppy', 'kitten', 'seiko'] category = ['Pets & Animals','Pets & Animals', 'Jewellery & Watches'] expected = ['puppies', 'kittens', 'watch'] }}

using "thucydides"

thucydides.uses_steps_from BuyerSteps

scenario "Searching by keyword and location", { given "Sally wants to buy a puppy for her son", { buyer.opens_home_page() } when "she looks for 'puppy' in the 'Pets and Animals' category", { buyer.chooses_category_and_keywords(category, keyword); buyer.performs_search(); } then "she should obtain a list of ads for puppies for sale",{ buyer.should_only_see_results_with_titles_containing keyword }}

Keeping an eye on things

(Think “Two-CDs”)

Scenario: Searching by keywordGiven Sally wants to buy a puppy for her sonWhen she looks for ads in the Pets & Animals category containing puppyThen she should obtain a list of ads for puppies for sale

Scenario: Searching by keywordGiven Sally wants to buy a puppy for her sonWhen she looks for ads in the Pets & Animals category containing puppyThen she should obtain a list of ads for puppies for salepublic class SearchAdsSteps {

Data-driven tests, Scala-style

Jasmine - BDD for Javascript

describe( "temperature converter", function () { it("converts fahrenheit to celsius", function () { expect(Convert(50, "F").to("C")).toEqual(10); }); });

Simple assertion structure

describe( "temperature converter", function () { it("converts fahrenheit to celsius", function () { expect(Convert(50, "F").to("C")).toEqual(10); }); it("converts celsius to fahrenheit", function () { expect(Convert(30, "C").to("F")).toEqual(86); }); });

More complex behavior

describe( "converter library", function () { describe( "temperature converter", function () { it("converts fahrenheit to celsius", function () { expect(Convert(50, "F").to("C")).toEqual(10); }); it("converts celsius to fahrenheit", function () { expect(Convert(30, "C").to("F")).toEqual(86); }); });

describe( "weight converter", function () { it("converts kilograms to pounds", function () { expect(Convert(100, "KG").to("LB")).toEqual(220); }); });});

Nested behaviors

And it works with Maven!
