Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) is a software development methodology in which applications are built to match the behaviors a user would expect from the software. An evolution of Test-Driven Development (TDD), BDD gathers user stories about how users expect applications to behave, then creates software tests to validate that their applications match this behavior. The BDD methodology utilizes specific language and naming conventions.

Unit testing is a software testing methodology that tests the behavior of individual functional units of code. Through unit testing, developers can verify that their code performs as intended. Providing an opportunity to catch bugs, validate the implementation of logic, and assess the quality of the code, unit testing enhances the quality of applications and preemptively identifies problems before they become major issues.

Enterprises should prioritize securing their software artifacts to protect intellectual property (IP), maintain compliance, and mitigate supply chain risks. A strong security posture requires a deep understanding of access management, distribution controls, compliance enforcement, and software lifecycle governance.

We are excited to introduce a new capability in Bitbucket Pipelines – Step Failure Strategies. This is the first of a set of new features allowing developers to implement more comprehensive logic and control-flow inside their CI/CD pipelines. Failure Strategies are designed to give you explicit control over how your pipeline behaves in the event that an individual step within the pipeline fails.

We are excited to announce the release of ARM builds in the Pipelines cloud runtime. Our release of Linux based ARM runners in cloud allows you to build and deploy software for ARM-based systems with all the benefits of our fully managed CI/CD platform. To use the new cloud ARM runners in your pipeline, make the following modifications to your bitbucket-pipelines.yml file.
