# BDD/TDD PoC (with extra pickle juice)

Imagine a future with me...


 Your project is fully defined, requests from a client are clear..


.. these requirements need to be transcribed into a first-person perspective --- the person using your app.


... you break out behaviors into descriptive chunks


... you use **Gherkin** syntax, because _convention over configuration_ is ***GOOD***


... you use **Cucumber** to turn these behaviors into *real tests* that run in a headless browser


... tests are broken! Write some code, make them pass!


... Tests all pass! You're done!


... Client wants to change a feature...


... ...


... you update the tests. They break!


... you change the code --- they pass!


... Client is happy, you're done!

### Suggested Stack

- gherkin (not a library, but a language)

- CucumberJS (because you're writing JavaScript anyway...)

- A driver... dunno yet! Probably WebDriver or Nightmare.
