About the Book
Edited by the creator of SpecFlow and the author of The Cucumber for Java Book, this book harnesses the experiences of the Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) community to provide a catalogue of patterns that all teams will find useful when automating BDD scenarios. The patterns presented are applicable to all BDD automation tools, no matter what programming language is being used. Concrete examples are presented for each pattern, using Cucumber and/or SpecFlow. This is a practical, technical book, recommended for developers, automation engineers, and technical testers.
