BDD, SpecFlow and Gherkin all together

Question

I recently heard about BDD (Behavior Driven Development) and I liked this idea. since I work mainly with C # and .NET, I found SpecFlow , then found out that SpecFlow uses Gherkin and now I feel lost. Where you will find official documentation that tells you everything you need to know about SpecFlow, the same goes for Gherkin.

In short: is there a book (not blogs and articles) about developing real practical applications using these tools?

Answer 1

The official documentation is available on github: https://github.com/techtalk/SpecFlow/wiki/Documentation

Gherkin Documentation: https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/wiki/Gherkin

Answer 2

Not sure if there are many books that cover this. Book: Developing Pro Agile.NET with SCRUM covers BDD in one of its chapters.

Personally, I found out about this through the following articles / videos:

• http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/gg490346.aspx

Answer 3

I highly recommend the cucumber book (http://pragprog.com/book/hwcuc/the-cucumber-book).

This is not about C # and SpecFlow, but all concepts apply. Loved it
