Implementing Behavior Driven Development in an Open Source ERP

Abstract

A typical problem in Software Engineering is how to guarantee that all system’s requirements are correctly implemented through source code. Traditionally, requirement tracing is a manual task comprised of keeping links from requirements to source code, going through different modeling artifacts, including models. However, these techniques cannot guarantee that requirements are always correctly implemented by source code. Aiming at solving this problem, Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) is a specification technique that automatically checks if all functional requirements are treated properly by source code through the connection of the textual description of requirements to automated tests. Given that for Enterprise Information Systems, requirements are usually identified by analyzing business process models, and these processes are implemented through workflows, connecting workflows to automated tests through BDD specifications can provide automated requirements traceability. The aim of this paper is to briefly present this proposal and show how it was implemented for the open source ERP5 system.
