Behavior Driven Development
The BDD paradigm is that it's better to write code you wish you had and have a feature that is working instead of writing something you’re not sure is right and writing tests around it.
Features
In Expertiza, features are stored in /features. Within this folder you can find several sub-folders such as /admin, /instructor, and /student. This structure is to organize tests that apply to specific roles.
