I was contacted by Per Otto Bergum Christensen, the developer of BDoc, the “…open source project that extracts documentation from unit tests.”
I mentioned BDoc in A Better Way? when I wrote about easyb, a while back.
Per Otto says:
You should check out the new version of BDoc, the new version of scenario support is quite differnt and cool. Testtables are also added, like the ones you find in fitnesse.
I had a look around, and I agree: the new Testtable feature really is a powerful addition to the tool and I applaud Per Otto for his work. It certainly moves the tool along nicely; in Per Otto’s words:
My goal is to promote Test First and let BDoc be the catalyst for test names that describes behaviour.
I’m still not sure that I would use it when interacting with Domain Experts and Product Owners (which is what I found attractive about easyb…naieve fool that I am) but it does look much more powerful than the venerable JUnit.
I am still reeling from the fact that someone in Norway actually read something on my site!
