Abstract

Behavior Driven Development (BDD) offers a way to write scenarios in structured natural language on how to successfully fulfill a requirement. We fail to find documentation on how to use existing BDD templates. A set of templates with a clear definition of the keywords to use would provide guidance. This paper empirically explores the keywords found in the different dimensions of BDD scenarios to build a reference set of non-redundant concepts.
