BDD in .NET using SpecFlow and WatiN
Behavior-Driven Development (BDD), employs the approach of specification by example. Instead of talking in abstract terms about what the system will do, the team collaborates to automate specific examples that specify what the system should do from the user's perspective. SpecFlow is a Cucumber-inspired tool for mapping stories and acceptance criteria to automated functional tests in .NET, using the tools you already know. This session will show you how to use SpecFlow with WatiN to drive out functionality for ASP.NET Webforms and MVC applications.
