      <description><![CDATA[<p>
The Zend Developer Zone has <a href="http://devzone.zend.com/article/3082-Designing-Klingon-Warships-Using-Behaviour-Driven-Development">another new tutorial</a> from <i>Padraic Brady</i> talking about testing your applications (i.e. unit tests). In this new article, he expands on his <a href="http://devzone.zend.com/article/2772-An-Introduction-to-the-Art-of-Unit-Testing-in-PHP">previous one</a> and dives a bit deeper into the behaviour-driven development process.
</p>
<blockquote>
In this article, I introduce a TDD related practice called Behaviour-Driven Development which has been gathering attention for over a year and gaining converts (like me!).
</blockquote>
<p>
He <a href="http://devzone.zend.com/article/3082-Designing-Klingon-Warships-Using-Behaviour-Driven-Development">briefly covers</a> what BDD is and how it can be used to solidify code against issues that might come up down the road (and how it compares to test-driven development). Some sample code/tests are included to give you a better idea of how it all fits together - a set of scenarios for any given "story". True to the title, <i>Padraic</i> writes his tests around the construction of a Klingon Bird of Prey ship.
