Are you writing code that never gets used? Are you struggling to make the code fit your requirements?
Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) is a fresh breath of air in the agile community, and its primary
focus is to deliver software that matters. -For the end users. BDD builds upon several agile tools and
practices like Acceptance-Test Driven Planning, Example-Driven Devlopment, FIT, User Stories and TDD,
and bring them together in a consistent whole.
This presentation will give an introduction to the principles and practices of BDD and demonstrate how
you can make your plain text User Stories executable with RSpec's Story Framework, running against Java code.
The RSpec framework itself is written in Ruby, but JRuby makes it possible to make your stories run against
applications written in Java.
