Explore techniques for improving Specification by Example (SbE), Behavior-Driven Development (BDD), and Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD) artifacts in this 57-minute conference talk from GOTO Aarhus 2014. Learn how to create high-value specifications, write testable scenarios that resonate with business stakeholders, and avoid common mistakes when working with tools like Cucumber, SpecFlow, and Fitnesse. Discover the characteristics that elevate good scenario descriptions from mere acceptance tests to valuable living documentation. Gain insights into the three important phases of a specification's lifecycle, understand the roles of specifications, and explore concepts such as coherence, hourglass-shaped scenarios, and focus balance contrast. Enhance your ability to create maintainable and effective BDD and ATDD artifacts through practical, real-world examples and expert guidance.
