I'm rather fond of a book, Specification by Example by Gojko Adzic, that's partially a manifesto for, and partially a guide to, doing this.

Thanks for the pro tip. Already reading...

I've been working on a notion tentatively called "example driven development". Use specifications to generate code. Kinda like compiling swagger docs to implement an HTTP server.

My first such effort was using the BA developed HL7 interface documents (swagger for HL7) to code generate our implementations. Worked great.

Thanks for the rec! Just bought for $5 (kindle ed).

what site? i can only see manning for $36. not on amazons.

Here[1] it is on Amazon, which is cheaper, and seems to have used copies for ~$18, but I can't find anything for $5. Maybe it was a typo?

I'm guessing this one (with a slightly different title: Bridging the Communication Gap: Specification by Example and Agile Acceptance Testing) http://a.co/d/6tGlrUc

Yes, that's the $4.99 one I found.
