Behavior Driven Development (BDD) can provide a higher level of confidence in a project by testing at a higher level: the project's input and output level.</p> <p>In this presentation we'll look at examples of BDD implemented in cucumber, show how it can catch errors other tests can't, how it can be used not only for improving confidence in deployments but verifying deployments as well. Specifically focused on backend web services, the concepts in the presentation can be applied to other domains as well.</p> <p>If you're looking for a presentation with code, but not too much, this is for you!</p> <p>Bio: Matthew Mayer is an agile enthusiast, a cloud-native software engineer but mostly wishes he had more time to ride his motorcycles.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://www.agilepdx.org/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
