Last week I had the pleasure of being invited to talk at the Canberra Java Users Group about BDD using Easyb and JDave, using the talk that Lasse Koskela and I gave at Agile2009:

Behaviour-Driven Development, or BDD, is an excellent development strategy that can help bridge the traditional gap between requirements and implementation. This talk will go discuss the basic principles of Behaviour Driven Development, and look at how it builds on and differs from “traditional” Test-Driven Development. This session will demo two BDD tools: JDave, an open source framework that incorporates BDD concepts into JUnit, and easyb, a DSL-based behavior driven development framework for Java that uses Groovy to let you pretty much write tests that document themselves.

If you are interested in hearing the talk and/or downloading the slides, you can download both here.

The Blackberry is one of the most widely used personal digital (PDA) devices around the world. Many companies develop custom business and consumer based Blackberry applications.

Blackberry Software Development can fit to the following areas:

• Field Service Applications- Focusing on the GPS and camera functions of the Blackberry, our team of professionals can design applications that maximize these user functionalities.
