Explore a 30-minute conference talk from PHP UK Conference where Dan North, the originator of Behavior-Driven Development (BDD), reflects on the 20-year evolution of this software development methodology. Learn how BDD emerged from the challenges of introducing Test-Driven Development (TDD) to development teams, and discover how a simple change in terminology from 'testing' to 'behavior specification' led to wider adoption. Gain insights into the extensive impact of BDD, including its influence on numerous books and the development of automation tools like JBehave, RSpec, Cucumber, Reqnroll, and Behat. Understand North's current perspective on Cucumber-like tools and when they're most appropriate, while examining the future direction of BDD methodology in software development.
