Yadda 3.0.0: BDD in the Age of AI Agents

lifeisstillgood 17 minutes ago |

The example of “transcibe the initial project discussion, turn that into BDD and that makes the rails to guide the AI is … either brilliant and insightful or a snake eating it’s own tail.

I think it has to be worth a try though…

Yadda 3.0.0 is out. The release modernises the JavaScript BDD library, but more interestingly, it was largely built by Claude Code and points to why executable specifications may become even more valuable in an agentic development world.

One suggestion: my bet is that close to no one knows what the acronym BDD stands for. The first comment on this post is in fact exactly about that.

I'd consider explaining what BBD is at the start of the front page of your project.

"my bet is that close to no one knows what the acronym BDD stands for".

That's disconcerting. Software engineers ought to know.

I’ll take that bet, since we ask about it in our interview questions.

"Behaviour Driven Development"

I was expecting something on Binary Decision Diagrams. SAOD is worst with TLAs.

This is probably HN's tech background speaking. In the enterprise dev world, everyone knows what BDD means just like every dev out there knows what OOP means.

What is SAOD? Do you mean SOAD?

Severe Acronym Overload Disorder.

Funny enough, Google's overview box also suggests soad: "SAOD (or SOAD) most commonly refers to the rock band System of a Down"

Thanks. (That’s what it suggested for me as well. Clarifying that I meant in the context of software, it suggested a misspelling of SOAD - Service-Oriented Analysis and Design.)

Being hard here, though: Purely dismissing it as not being worth of my time due to the example alone.
