BDD seems to be a nice idea. But I have never seen it really working.
The original idea behind BDD was collaboration with customer, and it simply does not work. What we get instead:
- Frameworks that make tests much more complexer.
- Tests structures that make tests much more harder to write.
- Organization structures that make learning much more difficult.
- Beautiful reports with screenshots that nobody reads.
Let’s talk about real cost of BDD and consider if it’s worth it.
