Behavior Driven Development
Developers should use BDD when building complex applications where clear communication between technical and business teams is critical, such as in agile projects with evolving requirements or regulatory environments needing precise documentation
Pros
- +It helps prevent misunderstandings by creating living documentation that describes system behavior in plain language, reduces rework from misinterpreted specs, and ensures features meet actual business needs through automated acceptance tests
- +Related to: test-driven-development, agile-methodologies
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Specification Driven Development if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Behavior Driven Development if: You prioritize it helps prevent misunderstandings by creating living documentation that describes system behavior in plain language, reduces rework from misinterpreted specs, and ensures features meet actual business needs through automated acceptance tests over what Specification Driven Development offers.
