Written by the creator of SpecFlow and the author of The Cucumber for Java Book, this book provides inside information on how to get the most out of the discovery phase of Behaviour Driven Development (BDD). This practical guide demonstrates good collaboration techniques, illustrated by concrete examples.

This book is written for everyone involved in the specification and delivery of software (including product owners, business analysts, developers, and testers). The book starts by explaining the reasons BDD exists in the first place and describes techniques for getting the most out of collaboration between business and delivery team members.

This is the first in the BDD Books series that will guide you through the entire development process, including specific technical practices needed to successfully drive development using collaboratively-authored specifications and living documentation.

There is a Slack channel where topics arising from the BDD Books series can be discussed. First you’ll need to join the Cucumber Community Slack workspace (if you haven’t already) at https://bit.ly/bdd-books-slack. Then join the #bdd-books-discussion channel.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
Seb wrote his first commercial software in the early eighties on an Apple II. He went on to graduate from the University of Edinburgh with a 1st Class Joint Honours in Computer Science and Electronics in 1987. Since then he has had a varied career working with companies, both large and small, in roles that cover the complete technical spectrum (www.linkedin.com/in/sebrose).
Over the past 6 years, Seb has focused on helping teams adopt and refine their agile practices. He honed his craft at IBM Rational and Amazon, where he became familiar with many of the common agile dysfunctions and realised that what most teams lack is fluency in core technical practices. Without these underpinnings, poor communication becomes the biggest barrier to success, whether it is between the business and the development team or within the development team itself.
Seb wrote internal training courses for IBM's Quality Software Engineering department (QSE) and went on to develop his own courses that he runs for clients throughout Europe (claysnow.co.uk/training). He speaks regularly at international conferences, specialising in topics such as Unit Testing, Test Driven Development (TDD), Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) and Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD). He is a contributing author to O'Reilly's "97 Things Every Programmer Should Know", as well as being a popular blogger and a regular contributor to technical journals.
For the past year Seb has been a core member of the open source Cucumber project and is lead author of "The Cucumber for Java Book" for the Pragmatic Programmers. He works closely with other thought leaders in the development community and is a contributor and trainer with Kickstart Academy (kickstartacademy.io)

Learn how to start BDD on the right foot by reading this book.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a great book. If you feel like you're regularly not building the right thing or maybe the application's requirements are insufficient or maybe there's an overall communication issue between the business, test, and development then this book will provide a really great place to start fixing things. Even if all is well on your project then maybe these ideas will help increase your efficiency and free up time for the business and test folks.

I really like that that every few pages has a real life story from one of the authors.

This is not a long book but it will keep you engaged and it is great content.

A must read if you want to practice BDD!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is the book to buy for teams wanting to practice BDD. Discovery is the first part to master in order to capture desired system behavior. The good news, building examples and driving out ambiguity are skills that require no tools, so the whole team can learn just by following the examples in the book. Can't wait for the next two books in this series! Jeff Ronay, Senior Application Architect.

Discover ways to build shared understanding

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 5, 2018

I love that this book is tool-agnostic. I still work with people who say "I tried <insert BDD tool name> for automation in 2008 and it was awful, so we aren't doing BDD". _Discovery_ builds on Brian Marick's Example-Driven Development and Joshua Kerievsky's Story Test-Driven Development from the early 00s. The authors explain how testers add value when new features are discussed and tested.

One crucial message of this book is how to structure conversations among product owners, developers, designers, testers and other stakeholders to build shared understanding of each feature. Example mapping as described here is so easy to learn, you can quickly get your team to try it - and they're going to see the value right away. The graphics in this book are super helpful, and the stories even more so. They really help us learn.

The authors explore BDD in various contexts, such as regulated environments. They have great ideas for engaging business stakeholders. They demonstrate the value of living documentation. And they understand that a big part of nudging change along is the need to change the culture as well as the practices.

I'm excited to learn that this is the first in a series of books and I'm looking forward to the next installment! If your team doesn't already have a book club, start one, read this book together, and try out the practices that it explains. Don't be afraid to experiment - you may be surprised at the results.

Best BDD book out

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 16, 2020

BDD is such a frustrating topic, so few people actually understand that it's a collaboration tool and the value from it is based around the conversations not the actual text. This book helps express this in a way that even the thickest people should be able to understand.

There are a few obviously overdubbed parts that can get distracting, but the information within is pure gold. I highly recommend to anyone who is curious about BDD

It's all about collaboration!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 7, 2018

I highly recomment this book to everyone who is developing applications: developer, tester, business, UX. the book is very focused, which makes it easy to read and comprehend. I provides great examples that make the transfer to ones own context straight-forward. You can tell that the authors have been there, done that many times which is also emphasized by many real world stories.
Often BDD is misunderstood as automating tests with e.g. Gherkins, yet this books makes it absolutely clear that the essential part of BDD is not the tooling, but the collaboration.

The backlog refinement missing link

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 2, 2018

I got an advance copy a few weeks ago. I read this 3 times now, learning something new each time. This is an excellent book that talks about ways to discover and gather requirements through examples. It's the missing link for those looking to refine their product backlog. Using BDD is an excellent way to figure out software requirements or user stories and enrich things you hadn't thought of before.

Just buy it. You won't be disappointed.

A lovely guide for a key piece of the puzzle

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 23, 2018

Most books on BDD bundle conversations, documentation and automation into a single interlinked topic, so the nuances of each of those areas get lost. Gaspar and Seb wrote a book that's incredibly valuable because it focuses on the key piece of the BDD puzzle that's often overlooked, actually discovering the right examples. The book is especially important as it's the first proper written reference on example mapping, a novel technique that significantly helps with shared understanding.

Excellent book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 27, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent book. You can read this book in a one day with one sitting.

Both author had explained the Behaviour Driven Design ( BDD) concept with great example. How to build and why to build?

I really enjoyed reading this book and learnt something very important.

I am looking forward to read their another book Formulation very soon.

I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in BDD development work.

Great BDD intro - Clear, concise, authoritative

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

As an introduction to BDD you can't do much better than this. I intend to give copies of this book to people I am encouraging to adopt BDD.

This book proves that a book can be useful and authoritative without the need for great length. You - and even me - can read this book in a day and learn a lot. It is short and to the point.

Only thing I can really fault it on is price, £17 for 80 pages seems a bit steep but then you are buying knowledge not paper.

Buen libro introductorio, pero le faltan las partes de formulación e implementación

Reviewed in Spain 🇪🇸 on March 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

Es un libro introductorio sobre BDD, muy bien escrito, claro de leer y entendible por roles no técnicos.

Mi única crítica es que es muy breve y perfectamente podría integrar las partes de formulación e implementación, que han separado como dos libros adicionales (una hábil táctica de negocio, diría yo).

Simple, thoughtful, and worth reading!

Reviewed in Brazil 🇧🇷 on May 10, 2022

This book is an excellent source of knowledge in terms of BDD (behavior-driven development) to fit the gap of gathering requirements, refining them properly, and automating the test to ensure dynamic project and product documentation is useful and produces fast and reliable validation of the business cases and product features.
