If you are a TDD/Testing enthusiast (or a disco lover) you've probably come across Andy's totally Disco blog. During the last weeks (months?) he has been blogging about BDD (Behavior Driven Development) which seems quite interesting, I must confess I didn't pay it much attention as I was too concentrated doing Groovy stuff. Developer works has published his last article of the In pursuit of code quality series: "Adventures in behavior-driven development" which completely hit me like a rock. I can clearly see now BDD as the next step over TDD, thanks Andy! I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on this one.

The article shows off some of the features of JBehave, a Java BDD framework, and because its Java you'll still see some of the awkwardness of writing behaviors with inner classes instead of using closures (see listing 3 to understand what I mean), so instead of waiting to see how closures are inserted/hammered/cooked into Java you can use Groovy, and what do you know, there is already a page on Groovy+JBehave integration!

Keep on Groovying!
