TickSpec: An F# BDD Framework

Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) is an Agile software development approach that focuses on clear communication. It encourages collaboration between developers, QA and business people. Via collaboration key behaviours of a system are specified by example. These examples provide living documentation to drive product development.

TickSpec is a lightweight BDD library and framework for .Net, with first class support for C# and F#. Use TickSpec to automate your examples.
