Ah no, another 3 letter IT-term: "BDD"

Business Driven Development, an evolution of TDD.

I think it comes from the Java world, from JBehave.

You can find more on http://behaviour-driven.org/

And Dan North wrote JBehave and is giving session about it http://dannorth.net/

And yes there's already an NBehave http://nbehave.org/ :-S

The B is short for 'behaviour', not 'business' (though I quite like that interpretation of the acronym!).

Also, BDD was conceived before JBehave. Just. There's an RBehave for Ruby, too. No BDD framework is actually needed in order to do BDD; mostly I use them to teach, and on my personal projects. JUnit is just fine if you're disciplined enough (most people are, once they 'get it').

Indeed, it should be "Behaviour" instead of Business. Business Driven Development also exist en.wikipedia.org/.../Business-driven_development

...it's RSpec, not RBehave (the second was merged into the first some time ago).
