BDD, destroy ambiguity and generate clarity!

BDD isn’t just about testing your requirements. It’s a conversation, rather a collaborative practice that transforms ambiguous requirements into a shared language, assumptions into clear examples, and stakeholder intent into living, executable specifications.
In this one-day interactive workshop, you’ll master the “outside-in” approach of BDD through real-world scenario mapping, hands-on specification writing, and practical integration of AI tools that help discover, refine, and automate conversations about business value.

You’ll discover how BDD builds a bridge between technical and non-technical teams, how to turn user stories into unambiguous acceptance criteria, and how to leverage AI as a facilitator and automation accelerator to make collaboration more effective and inclusive.

Who It’s For

This workshop is designed for:

• Product Owners, Business Analysts, and Subject Matter Experts who define requirements
• Software Developers and Test Automation Engineers who build and verify features
• QA Specialists and Agile Coaches who facilitate team collaboration
• Any cross-functional team member involved in delivering software that meets real user needs

What You’ll Learn

Throughout the day, we’ll cover:

• The BDD Mindset: Shifting from “test automation” to “shared specification and discovery”
• The Three Amigos & The BDD Cycle: Facilitating effective collaboration (Business, Development, Testing)
• Crafting Effective Gherkin: Writing clear, executable specifications in Given-When-Then format
• Scenario Mapping & Example Mapping: Techniques to explore requirements, uncover edge cases, and build a shared understanding
• AI as a Collaboration Catalyst: Using AI to generate scenario ideas, refine Gherkin syntax, and suggest edge cases from user stories
• From Gherkin to Glue Code: Implementing step definitions that connect language to automation
• Living Documentation: Creating automated specifications that remain accurate, readable, and valuable for all
• Integrating BDD into Your Agile Flow: How BDD fits with Sprint Planning, Refinement, and Review
• BDD at Scale: Managing and organizing feature files and step definitions for large projects
• Common Pitfalls & Anti-patterns: Avoiding brittle tests, over-specification, and collaboration breakdowns

Format & Approach

Expect a highly collaborative and practical mix of:

• Facilitated “Three Amigos” simulation workshops with real product backlogs
• Hands-on exercises in crafting and refining Gherkin scenarios
• Guided labs on implementing and automating scenarios with popular BDD frameworks (e.g., Cucumber, SpecFlow, Behave)
• Interactive sessions using AI tools to enhance requirement discovery and specification writing
• Group discussions on fostering a culture of shared responsibility for quality

This is not a technical automation course in isolation, it’s a collaborative workshop designed to build the human and technical skills needed to deliver the right software, right.

Outcomes

After completing this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Facilitate or contribute effectively to BDD-style specification workshops (e.g., Three Amigos)
• Translate user needs and business rules into clear, executable Gherkin scenarios
• Use AI tools to augment and improve the quality of collaborative specification
• Understand how to connect these specifications to automated tests, creating living documentation
• Break down communication silos between business, development, and testing roles
• Embed BDD practices into their team’s agile rituals to reduce rework and increase delivered value
