Do I need to have software development experience to take this course?
You will benefit from having some familiarity with software development to follow along in this course. Programming experience is not necessary.
What's the point of behavior-driven development?
Behavior-driven development helps teams not only build the product right (i.e., no bugs and better reliability) but also build the right product (i.e. what your clients, customers, or users need). There is no bigger waste than very efficiently delivering a product nobody wants!
How does BDD benefit development teams?
Two ways behavior-driven development benefits teams are:
- Collaboration: BDD forms the foundation for better communication and collaboration between teams and their stakeholders. Improved collaboration leads to a better understanding of "what" to develop—that is to say, the right product, by aligning the team with the users and business goals.
- Better workflows: You can enable a better workflow by "shifting left" and "testing first": specifying, validating, and testing can start before actual coding.
What will a product owner get out of this course?
Product owners will learn how to enhance product backlog refinement because you'll learn how to have clearer communication and alignment with software developers, stakeholders, and customers.
Why should a business analyst take BDD for Agile Teams?
When you take this course as a business analyst, you'll be better prepared to facilitate the translation of requirements into executable specifications that both developers and business stakeholders will easily understand.
Should testers take this course?
As a tester, you'll explore how to actively and effectively contribute to conversations about testability and edge cases. You'll also learn the fundamentals of implementing automated acceptance tests.
How is BDD different from TDD?
TDD tends to be developer-centric and operates at and operates at component level: classes, modules, methods and functions. BDD looks at the bigger picture: what users need, what the business needs, and what features align to those needs most effectively.
