Description
From vision to joint implementation
Would you like to be able to implement BDD with your team, understand the advantages and disadvantages of the method and get to know the use of example mapping and scenarios? Then you’ve come to the right place.
Agile working has almost become a matter of course today, and we find a backlog with user stories in practically every project. Unfortunately, we sometimes only realize during implementation that the requirements of the story were not entirely clear, or we lack good tests later on to ensure that the result meets our requirements. BDD ensures a common understanding of how our software should behave right from the start, supports us in the implementation and also provides documentation and test automation.
In this training course, you will not only get to know the method, but also use it directly. Together, you will develop (at least) one user story from the vision of a new feature, which you will refine, implement and review with the help of example mapping and behavior-driven development. You realize how you as a team not only gain a common understanding of the technicality and behaviour of your software, but also automatically develop a common (technical) language (ubiquitous language).
And as a useful by-product, we derive automated tests with little effort, which we use as the basis for our implementation. Using Cucumber and AsciiDoc, we not only write the code, but also document our feature and the results of our automated tests in a shared repository. This allows us to achieve a common status of the functional specification and technical implementation at all times.

Katrin Rabow
BDD, Business Analysis
- Behavior Driven Development (BDD)
Katrin Rabow worked as a freelance consultant for around 15 years, providing training and support to small companies in their day-to-day business operations before starting a degree in business informatics at the Technical University of Darmstadt in 2015, which she completed with a Master’s degree. Since then, she has been working as a business analyst and quality manager on various projects. She also gives training courses on Behavior Driven Development.
In addition to her day-to-day business, she regularly speaks at conferences, where she likes to combine “hard” topics such as software engineering with “soft” areas such as corporate culture. She is particularly interested in communication and cooperation in agile software development teams.
