Online Behavior Driven Development (BDD) Training in New Zealand

This instructor-led, live workshop in New Zealand begins with an introduction to BDD—what it is and how organisations use it to promote sound software design, development, and testing. We approach this from a non-engineering perspective, keeping the end-users, their requirements, language, and mindset at the forefront. We also explore the communication challenges business stakeholders often face when working more closely with their technically minded counterparts.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Write concise user stories that capture the real-world usage patterns of software end-users.
• Translate their user stories into the behavioural language of BDD (Given, When, Then).
• Derive test cases from these stories for engineers to implement and validate.
• Understand the relationship between product requirements, acceptance criteria, and test cases.
• Demystify technical jargon that hinders clear communication and mutual understanding.
• Install and effectively use powerful tools for writing BDD feature files.
• Appreciate what occurs once work is handed over to engineering teams.
• Play a more active role in the iterative development cycle.
