Explore the resurgence of Behavior Driven Development (BDD) for web applications in this conference talk from Devoxx Poland 2019. Delve into the principles of BDD and discover how the combination of Gauge and Taiko frameworks can revolutionize communication and testing in software development. Learn about the challenges faced with traditional BDD approaches and how Gauge addresses these issues. Gain insights into setting up context, implementing specification by example, and conducting specification workshops. Compare Gauge with Cucumber, understand the concept of regression tests, and explore the shift in testing paradigms. Get practical advice on applying BDD in real-world scenarios, including implementations in Java and JavaScript. Address common questions about test data retrieval and tackle the persistent problem of flaky UI tests. Evaluate whether BDD for web should be revived and adjusted, and leave with a clear call to action for improving your development practices.
