review 1: According to Dan North, if you need a book on BDD, this is the book to read. In fact, Dan has said that he did not write a book because this one captures the essence of what he was trying to get across.This book is based on actually talking with real projects and gives examples of what has and had not worked on projects for writing Executable Specifications. This contains a wealth of information on things to avoid based on what has/has not worked for other teams. On the other hand, when you read the case studies, you'll find that none of the teams approached the technique from the same direction.I've been recommending this book based on having met Gojko and skimming the book. Having read the book, I'll continue to recommend it to people as a great guide on how to get start... moreed writing specifications.
review 2: Gojko Adzik has managed to lay out practices in the area of test driven acceptance testing, autmated testing and documentation. This certainly feels like testing done right and describes a collaborative approach to specification, testing and documentation focused on automation. The key practices introduced are: * Deriving scope from goals * Specifying collaboratively* Illustrating using example * Refining the specification * Automating without changing the specification * Validating frequently* Evolving a documentation system I think this book will become a classic on the topic of quality, specification and testing in software development. It goes to my list of top 10 recommended books for software development. Read it! less
