We do this by helping companies integrate Specification By Example (Behavior Driven Development) into their software development process. Specification By Example is an analysis technique for identifying and communicating software requirements between Business Stakeholders, Software Developers and Testers. Using Specification By Example mitigates the 50 - 60% of software defects directly attributable to mis-communicated or abstract requirements.Our hero tool - Behave Pro - integrates with JIRA Agile to allow user stories to be annotated with different scenarios of how the stories can be told. These scenarios are written in Given (preconditions), When (actions or triggers), Then (consequences) format. These are collaboratively written between Stakeholders, Developers and Testers prior to the start of the development. Although unconventional, this opens up communication channels which allows the functional expertise of the Developers and Testers to balance with the businesses needs as contributed by the Stakeholder. Our customers industries range from e-commerce to regulated environments including medical software and retail banking. Show less
