This Java-based framework
has been so designed and developed that it makes easy to access different
development practices and gets best performances out of them. JBehave is based
on BDD or Behavior-Driven Development which in itself has evolved out of ADD (Acceptance-Test
Driven Development) and TDD (Test-Driven Development).
The major difference
between JBehave and other test development practices is that it is
behavior-based, while the rest are test-based. Thanks to attribute of JBehave,
it is possible for both experts and newcomers to access development practices
easily and intuitively.
The best part in choosing
JBehave is that behaves like a development paradigm. In other words, JBehave
places equal importance to both automation and communication while producing
desired results in applications it is used.
As JBehave is based on
BDD, it represents the test cases as well as the specification in equal
measures. Furthermore, the testcase formats that are used through JBehave are
easy to understand even for non technical people. Hence, it is possible to
develop a good understanding between the developers and customers.
