Domain Driven Design with BDD
BDD or Behavior Driven Development is an approach to software development that encourages driving software development from a strong focus on the behaviour of the system as perceived by its users. When we do this it helps us to build bridges between the problems that we solve and how we solve them. This is closely related to the design approach of DDD and supports and reinforces it.
The modern approach to BDD using tools like Cucumber and SpecFlow is really a form of “Acceptance Test Driven Development” (ATDD), but now we are really getting into the jargon.
In this episode, Dave Farley explores how we can use this behavioural focus as a tool to better structure our software development and software engineering approach. How it can enhance our understanding, bridge gaps between different groups of people in the development process, better structure our development activities to focus more on the outcomes that we are aiming for and make the whole thing more testable.
