Course Overview
This two-day course is designed for mixed teams of developers, testers, and stakeholders who want to learn Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) together. Perfect for organizations looking to improve collaboration between technical teams and business representatives, this course teaches how to apply Behavior-Driven Development to embedded systems.
You’ll learn to facilitate requirements co-creation workshops, write executable specifications that everyone understands, and build acceptance tests that validate system functionality. Whether you attend as a soloist or as a mixed team, you’ll develop valuable expertise and collaborative practices that you can immediately apply to your projects.
