Description:

Problem Statement: In the fast-paced world of embedded firmware development, miscommunication between technical teams (developers and testers) and non-technical stakeholders (business analysts and product owners) can lead to costly delays, rework, and ultimately, project failure. How can we ensure everyone speaks the same language and aligns on the same goals?

Detailed Description: This talk addresses the common communication challenges faced in embedded firmware development and demonstrates how Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) can bridge the gap between technical and non-technical teams.

By using BDD to create clear, concise, and executable specifications, teams can foster better collaboration, reduce misunderstandings, and deliver high-quality firmware that meets business requirements.

We will explore the principles of BDD, its application in the context of embedded firmware, and practical examples illustrating its benefits. Attendees will learn how to write Given-When-Then scenarios, use BDD frameworks like Behave with Python, and integrate BDD into their development workflow. This talk is aimed at developers, testers, business analysts, and product owners who seek to improve their communication and collaboration processes.

Outline of Talk:

• Introduction
• Problem Statement
• Principles of BDD
• Real-life example illustrating BDD in action
• Overview of the Behave framework
• How BDD improves clarity and reduces misunderstandings
