What is ATDD?

Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD) is a collaborative development approach where stakeholders, testers, and developers define acceptance criteria as automated tests before development begins. These tests guide development and ensure the software meets the agreed-upon requirements. ATDD promotes clear communication, reduces ambiguity, and delivers software that aligns with business needs.
