[TYPO3-doc] Why I like to write documentation

[Steffen Müller]

Hi.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Whenever possible, I use BDD [1] with Behat/Mink [2] to focus my mind on
requirements and behavior of a software before starting to code.

Writing feature descriptions and corresponding scenarios with gherkin
[3] helps to think about software from a stakeholders point of view
(non-technical). It also allows you to communicate your software to the
stakeholder. Finally you can execute your scenarios and see if your code
does what it is expected to.
