UseCases

Use Cases

Use-cases are the starting point for our Behaviour Driven Development (BDD). The use-cases are elaborated into required feature need to fulfil the use-case, which are turned into BDD test features and scenarios using behave. behave is well documented at: http://pythonhosted.org/behave/ and has a good page describing the philosophy of behavior-driven development, something we have strongly benefited from. Broader Ideas are usually collected on the RoadMap before being elaborated into use-cases.

We also have tried py-bdd which is inspired by behave and uses similar conventions in writing feature files, but we are having some issues with pytest-bdd: see Testing.

Use-cases proceed to getting fleshed out as features. Features that are implemented as commands in OTCmd2 also have tests as examples: see TestsExamples.

Our feature files can be found in the tests/features/ directory of the distribution. For the currently documented features, see TestsFeatures.
