2. Traditional Software Development
• With traditional Software Development, the
technical personnel involved often need to work
much more even in the specifications and design
phase of the project
• Traditional software developers usually work on
the assumption that the costs of changes to
software can grow exponentially throughout the
life of the project
• Such projects often run over a specified time
frame, and well over budget

3. Flexible Development
• Flexible development is an approach that
attempts to reduce costs and to deliver software
on time
• The characteristics of a flexible development
team are the absence of a ‘big design’ up front,
iterative development, continuous integration
and minimal documentation

4. Flexible Development Projects
• Flexible development projects are divided into
many small sub-projects called iterations
• The iteration has all of the normal stages of a full-
blown project, that is, analysis, design,
development, testing and deployment
• An iteration usually last between one and two
weeks

5. BDD in Business
• BDD means behavior-driven development
• It’s the name of a flexible software development
system
• The owner, who is paying for the project,
describes the ‘behavior’ of the application
• BDD delivers the features and capabilities that
your business requires, and then continuously
listens to your feedback
• BDD tries to avoid the scenario of a lengthy and
costly project that does not deliver what you, the
stakeholder and project owner, require

6. Advantages of BDD
• When engaged on software development for your
business, BDD works to ensure that the most important
features of your business application are finished on
time and within budget
• This is done by offering regular feedback in the form of
quantifiable results on your project
• It’s ensured that your application will do the job that
you require of it, and that it does not crash when in use
• The software produced works within the framework of
local and global laws, and provide code that your
programmers can implement with your other systems
