The journey from a traditional test development process to BDD has its challenges. We started to learn and use BDD at the beginning of 2021, and we had to re-think our approach, thoroughly discuss the plan with the management, and re-write our Java-based Test Framework from scratch to support the gherkin syntax, which is almost like plain text. All this work provided a great opportunity to improve the understanding between different teams, to increase the product quality and to make the daily life of the testing team easier. 

What could be a key selling point for management to spend time on the transition? What difficulties you may face and how you can overcome them? How could an automotive company benefit from BDD? Listen to our experiences of what we’ve learned so far.
