Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) is an approach that describes software behavior in plain, structured language (Given-When-Then) understandable by both technical and non-technical people — bridging communication between developers, testers, and business stakeholders, with tests derived from these descriptions.
What BDD is
BDD focuses on describing BEHAVIOR in business-readable language:
→ write SCENARIOS in a structured natural-language format (Gherkin):
GIVEN some initial context
WHEN an action/event happens
THEN an expected outcome occurs
→ these scenarios are both DOCUMENTATION and executable TESTS
→ Bridges devs, QA, and BUSINESS stakeholders with a shared, readable language.
