Behavior Driven Development (BDD)
Good automated tests consist of two parts: the specification that describes what we are testing, and the implementation that describes how we are testing. That means the specification describes the behavior (business rule or functionality) and the implementation contains all the steps necessary to automatically verify this behavior. This is the part that non-IT people will also see. The specification serves as living documentation of the requirements of your application.

Short summary
Separating them allows you to write the specification part of the test before you’ve written a single line of code that actually implements the requested behavior. This makes it possible to do Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD), often also called Behavior Driven Development (BDD). You can elicit requirements early in the process and describe them in a clear way. This training provides a hands on experience after which attendees can create functionality that is fit for the purpose of using Behavior Driven Development
How can I create functionality that is fit for the purpose of using Behavior Driven Development?
