JBehave
JBehave is a Java-based behavior-driven development (BDD) framework that enables developers and stakeholders to write executable specifications in natural language. It integrates with JUnit to automate acceptance tests, using stories written in plain text to define application behavior. This approach bridges communication between technical and non-technical team members by focusing on user scenarios.
Developers should use JBehave when implementing BDD practices in Java projects to ensure software meets business requirements through automated acceptance testing. It is particularly useful in agile environments for defining clear, testable user stories that guide development and reduce misunderstandings. Common use cases include web applications, APIs, and enterprise systems where collaboration between developers, testers, and product owners is critical.
