This paper presents an approach to automate modification of development assets -both test programs and system codes in continuous service development. This approach is attained by metadata, which describes structural behavior and used for transmitting updates among design model, test components, and system under test. This mechanism is illustrated with a development scenario depicting how service development cycles can be accelerated.

“…Lazăr et al [11] also highlight the value of BDD for business domain and the interaction of business and software development, claiming that BDD enables developers and domain experts speak the same language, and encourages collaboration between all project participants. They point out two core principles of BDD: 1) business and technology people should refer to the same system in the same way; and 2) any system should have an identified, verifiable value to the business.…”

Abstract-Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) has gained increasing attention as an agile development approach in recent years. However, characteristics that constituite the BDD approach are not clearly defined. In this paper, we present a set of main BDD charactersitics identified through an analysis of relevant literature and current BDD toolkits. Our study can provide a basis for understanding BDD, as well as for extending the exisiting BDD toolkits or developing new ones.

Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) is an emerging agile development approach where all stakeholders (including developers and customers) work together to write user stories in structured natural language to capture a software application's functionality in terms of required "behaviors". Developers then manually write "glue" code so that these scenarios can be executed as software tests. This glue code represents individual steps within unit and acceptance test cases, and tools exist that automate the mapping from scenario descriptions to manually written code steps (typically using regular expressions). Instead of requiring programmers to write manual glue code, this thesis investigates a practical approach to convert natural language scenario descriptions into executable software tests fully automatically. To show feasibility, we developed a tool called Kirby that uses natural language processing techniques, code information extraction and probabilistic matching to automatically generate executable software tests from structured English scenario descriptions. Kirby relieves the developer from the laborious work of writing code for the individual steps described in scenarios, so that both developers and customers can both focus on the scenarios as pure behavior descriptions (understandable to all, not just programmers). Results from assessing the performance and accuracy of this technique are presented.
