Abstract

Context: Analyze the perception of professionals who use the Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) framework in software development. Problem: Identify the aspects inherent to adopting BDD by the software industry. Solution: Through descriptive and statistical analysis, advance understanding of the characteristics of using BDD. Method: Carry out a Survey to characterize BDD, where the target audience is professionals who use this framework in their work activities. Summary of results: The Survey carried out in this study was answered by 43 professionals to characterize how BDD has been adopted in software development. Contributions and impact: The main contribution of this article is that the lack of experience in using BDD directly impacts the performance of work activities. Thus, it is necessary to have experience in adopting BDD to achieve the potential expected by this framework.
