Back to Behavior Driven Development (BDD)
Guide to SpecBDD for PMI-ACP Examination

Definition:
Specification Behavior-Driven Development (SpecBDD) is a software development technique derived from Test-Driven Development (TDD). SpecBDD emphasizes collaboration between stakeholders, developers, and testers in creating executable specifications that describe expected software behavior. Its primary objective is producing software that matters, focusing on delivering business values.

Importance:
With SpecBDD, stakeholders participate in defining acceptance criteria. This promotes a shared understanding of the project's intent and reduces project risks. By focusing on user behavior instead of technical details, it ensures usability, functionality, and customer satisfaction.

How it Works:
SpecBDD works by: 1. Describing behavior in specifications. 2. Writing a failing test to demonstrate the behavior is missing. 3. Implementing model code. 4. Refactoring to remove all duplications and other design smells.

Preparing for Exam Questions on SpecBDD:
Understanding the SpecBDD process and its purpose is crucial for the exam. Also, knowing the difference between SpecBDD and TDD is beneficial. Remember, SpecBDD is about software behavior and delivering value, not just passing tests.

Exam Tips: When answering questions on SpecBDD, try to imagine the practical application of the technique in a real-world project. This can aid you in understanding the thought behind each step. Remember, in SpecBDD, user behavior is king.

SpecBDD practice test

SpecBDD, an extension of BDD, focuses on defining the specifications of the software being developed. The nomenclature in SpecBDD comprises of 'specifications' instead of 'tests', focusing on the 'behavior' aspect of BDD. It essentially promotes communicating software expectations with examples. This often involves writing human-readable stories that describe the behavior of your application, followed by an automatic process of turning those stories into executable tests. These executable tests are written before the code, supporting a test-first approach, and can also serve as living documentation are created.
