By the end of this training, participants will know how to:

• Write succinct user stories that capture the usage patterns of real users of the software.
• Translate their user stories into the behavioral language of BDD (Given, When, Then.)
• Derive test cases from these stories, for use by engineers to implement and test.
• Understand the relationship between product requirements, acceptance criteria, and test cases.
• Demystify the technical jargon that impedes communication and understanding.
• Install and use great tools for writing BDD feature files.
• Understand and appreciate what happens once the work is handed to engineers.
• Play a more active role in the iterative development cycle.
