Behaviour Driven Development allows systems to be both described and tested using a set of examples or scenarios.

In this course we will look at how requirements can be captured as user stories and then described as meaningful sets of acceptance criteria in the form of scenarios.

Using a workshop format we will focus on practical techniques and skills that will build your ability to use Behaviour Driven Development techniques effectively.
