Specification by Example is a collaborative approach to defining and illustrating software requirements using concrete examples. Gherkin is a business-readable DSL that you use to describe software's behavior as executable test cases that are easy for non-technical folks to understand. Together, Specification by Example and Gherkin offer programmers, designers, and managers an inclusive environment for clear communication, discovering requirements, and building a documentation system.

Writing Great Specifications is an example-rich tutorial that teaches you how to write good Gherkin specification documents that take advantage of Specification by Example's benefits. The book begins by giving you introductions to Specification by Example and Gherkin as well as the big picture of how they work together.

After a crash course in Gherkin, you'll go in-depth learning to write the text layer of executable specifications in Gherkin in a clear, understandable, and concise manner.

Non-engineers will learn how to make essential contributions to testing without having to learn to write testing code. Engineers and testers will find it helpful in striking a stronger chord with non-technical audiences through automated specifications.

This book is a teaching resource for product and design people, programmers and testers.

Kamil Nicieja began his career as an engineer, then moved to product management. He is now running his own startup. Because of Kamil's experience, he knows Specification by Example's benefits, both in development and in business.

I would consider this the missing manual for Gherkin. Craig Smith

This book is the missing link between abstract treatises on the subject of SBE and technical usage. David Madouros

From just a sheer reading of 5 chapters I was blown away, and learnt so much about how to make business impact through executable specifications. Dane Balia
