What is BDD? Why BDD and BDT? Automating a Behavior Driven GUI Test Integrating BDT and Test Automation

What is Behavior Driven Development (BDD)?What is Behavior Driven Testing (BDT)?

“BDD is a second-generation, outside-in, pull-based, multiple-stakeholder, multiple-scale, high-automation, agile methodology. It describes a cycle of interactions with well-defined outputs, resulting in the delivery of working, tested software that matters.” - Dan North

OR...

What is Behavior Driven Development (BDD)?What is Behavior Driven Testing (BDT)?

Test frst development on a higher level Clear separation of test logic and implementation Features & tests - defned in a common human readable language- implemented in a common human readable language

Why BDD & BDT?

Describe (Test) in a human-readable DSL

Focus on application behavior

Clear logic vs. implementation separation

Enable non-engineer test creation

Why BDD?Clear Feature Requirements & Results

Then("the address book is blank", function(context) {

waitFor("object.exists(':AddressBook_javax.swing.JTable')", 20000);

BDD GUI Test Automation Demo

Complete support for Feature Files written in Gherkin- 100% compatible with Cucumber, Behave, etc.

Test steps can be implemented in any of Squish's supported scripting languages- Python, Perl, JavaScript, Tcl & Ruby

Full IDE support- Editor with code completion, recording of steps, etc.

Produce clearer test results- Color-coded results directly in Features fle
