Stacking it up with BDD, baby

As I’ve mentioned before, test-driven development (or TDD, man) is a copasetic idea in practice, but some jive turkeys just can’t get over the conceptual leap associated with that word test. Check out this month’s “In pursuit of code quality” article, entitled “Adventures in behavior-driven development” to see, what’s arguably, a more natural way to integrate the momentum of TDD into your programming practice. Get started with behavior-driven development (aka BDD) (via JBehave, baby) and see for yourself what happens when you focus on program behaviors, rather than outcomes.

As always, don’t forget to let it all hang out at the “Improve Your Java Code Quality” forum while you are at it, man!
