Dear BDD Addicts,
Since the last issue of the newsletter, spring has finally arrived! We had a great tit couple nested in our garden making big noise with their 6 chicks. The weather is warmer now and there are also many people who started to write about BDD, test automation or agile testing, so it was not so easy to choose. If you have also seen a good post or article that has not been listed here, please let me know at bddaddict@specsolutions.eu, so that I can share with others.

The story, the rules and the examples are written onto index cards or sticky notes which make the example map. The technique was described by Matt Wynne (there is a good overview about it in Matt’s blog post) and we also discuss it in detail in our book with Seb Rose (Discovery: Explore behaviour using examples; BDD Books 1).
