BDD (Behavior-Driven Development) is an agile approach comprising three key practices: discovery, formulation, and automation. This methodology aims to improve software development by reducing ambiguities, enhancing collaboration, and creating living documentation. In BDD, acceptance tests stay stable because business rules change less than the UI. They can be written before the UI and describe business actions that guide development, serving as the application’s business vocabulary.

They started with basic test automation using record-and-playback, then expanded into BDD and full automation with Katalon. As their test suites grew, we helped them scale, parallelizing tests, executing them faster, and consolidating reporting, making it easier to manage large volumes of tests and meet delivery requirements.
