I am a pretty experienced developer (8-9 years mostly Java and other JVM-languages) who thought was pretty familiar with TDD, BDD and code design concepts. Unfortunately i was totally wrong ! The book really allowed me to open my eyes and see how much i was missing in these topics. It allowed me to finally understand the blurry line between TDD and BDD, write better tests, design in a more loose-coupled way and finally run-away from unit-tests (class/method-level unit tests) obsession and focus on features-testing as the right level of granularity for tests. The book (i haven't reached the last page yet) really reminds me Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided by Tests book but i find it way more easy to read (written by non-native speaker), with complex concepts expressed clearly (always with an example ! ) and with a slightly different test-scope: building "logic/business" layer using BDD (my 2 favorite chapters), then REST API (with business layer being test double/stubbed) and finally UI all developed using test-first approach. That kind of approach seems to match with "Integration Tests Are a Scam" by J.B. Rainsberger.Although I am not js programmer and all examples and tools used in the book are javascript based, I didn't have any problem to read/use them (the author even drives you on installing all tools and shares his best practices on using them) so the book is a really good choice for non-javascript developers who would like to make a deep dive into modern way of building software using tests.I only wish the book was not a softcover...

This book is very well done. He first explains what a test can be the difference in bdd and tdd. It teaches us to structure our tests with a practical case. You learn to test multiple browser using Protractor and WebDriver and even a rest web api. This book is to read for those who want to master the tests.

Enrique Amodeo has been so far one of the best tech writers I have found. Neither BDD or TDD was familiar to me, yet in the first chapters of the book I started to understand a lot, even to the point of being myself able to explain to others who also want to learn BDD and have some experience with TDD.This book is a must have if you want to become a better javascript developer. So far my experience has been great, but this doesn't mean that I haven't had my challenges. This is not easy, so keep the good spirits up and trust Amodeo, he is simply the best.

Pretty comprehensive coverage on BDD. I have limited experience in JavaScript, and but it's not difficult to follow at all. The startup example was interesting for me to follow the BDD concepts. Chapters four, five and six on CucumberJS, REST API testing and WebDriverJS were the best for me. Highly recommend to any one interested in BDD in JS or other languages.
