Mapping Business Process Modeling constructs to Behavior Driven Development Ubiquitous Language

Abstract: Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) is a specification technique that automatically certifies that all functional requirements are treated properly by source code, through the connection of the textual description of these requirements to automated tests. Given that in some areas, in special Enterprise Information Systems, requirements are identified by Business Process Modeling - which uses graphical notations of the underlying business processes, this paper aims to provide a mapping from the basic constructs that form the most common BPM languages to Behavior Driven Development constructs.
