The document discusses Behavior Driven Development (BDD) and the Python tool Behave. BDD develops applications based on required behaviors and utilizes tests written in plain language. Behave is a Python implementation of BDD that uses the Gherkin language to write tests in plain language steps. It provides reusable step code and generates skeleton step code to document features and requirements.
![Example Step
from behave import *
use_step_matcher("re")
@when(u'(?P<ignore>I )go to "(?P<url>[^"]*)"')
@given(u'(?P<ignore>I )am on "(?P<url>[^"]*)"')
def step_impl_go_to(context, url, **args):
import re
if re.match('http(s?)://.+', url) is None:
url = context.base_url + url
context.browser.get(url)](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/bddandbehave-150414133834-conversion-gate01/85/BDD-and-Behave-7-320.jpg)

- 3. What is BDD? Behavior Driven Development is developing for required application behavior BDD utilizes tests who’s result are in a plain language understood by the business BDD uses Extreme Programming (XP) based features and scenarios to accomplish both goals
- 4. Why Use BDD? BDD tests all the things BDD only tests what matters BDD makes it easy to understand what’s not working BDD documents requirements in the system
- 5. What is Behave? Python implementation of the Cucumber specification Uses Gherkin as the Domain Specific Language (DSL) to allow for writing tests in plain language Uses decorators and regular expressions to match steps with underlying code base Allows for reusable step code
- 6. Example Gherkin Feature: Home Page Scenario: Login Link Given I am on the homepage When I click " Login" Then I will be on the "LaunchKey | Log in" page
- 7. Example Step from behave import * use_step_matcher("re") @when(u'(?P<ignore>I )go to "(?P<url>[^"]*)"') @given(u'(?P<ignore>I )am on "(?P<url>[^"]*)"') def step_impl_go_to(context, url, **args): import re if re.match('http(s?)://.+', url) is None: url = context.base_url + url context.browser.get(url)
- 8. Why Use BDD Document features Better requirements Know what is broken Know how to reproduce a failure Have confidence that your application works
- 9. Why Use Behave Generates skeleton step code Reusable steps without function knowledge Provides a clean context between scenarios Multiple verb support
