Let's talk about software behaviour (BDD)
summary
Argues BDD is about early collaboration not just testing, using Three Amigos workshop to produce concrete examples that become acceptance criteria; writes Gherkin feature files and ties them to Java step definitions via a Cucumber run class in IntelliJ. Demo builds a simple Person class and validator, converts scenarios to failing tests, implements code until tests go green, uses tags to skip unfinished scenarios and generates living documentation (HTML/AsciiDoc) from the same examples.
