Does BDD really work???

PROPRIETARY

Conventional project team

BDD project team

Only testers write the automation tests

developers and testers (sometimes product managers)

together own the tests

need to document test cases separately

BDD features are the test documentation

updating test cases and requirements with ever changing

scope is a huge task

BDD features serve the purpose of requirements as tests are written in business language

hiring and on boarding is difficulthelps both developers and testers in understanding

functionality

PROPRIETARY

we don’t have time to write code without tests

less issues in production

we use developer machines for testing

we have been writing tests since day one and thats our strength

we do daily releases
