This course takes you on a journey through the fundamentals and advanced techniques of behavior-driven development (BDD) using Specflow and Cucumber in a .NET environment. You'll begin by understanding the core principles of BDD, why it matters, and how Cucumber, combined with Gherkin, allows you to write easy-to-read test scenarios that everyone on your team can understand. You'll also explore the benefits of using Gherkin as a universal language for expressing business requirements, along with a deep dive into user stories, testing workflows, and maintaining a single source of truth.
