Contributing to BDR

Contributing to BDR

Thank you for your interest in contributing to the Behavior-Driven Living Requirements (BDR) Methodology! BDR is an open standard, and we rely on the community to adapt it to new languages and frameworks.

How can I contribute?

1. New Implementations (Java, Python, C#, etc.)

We need reference repositories for other languages! If you have built a BDR-compliant framework in a language other than TypeScript, please:

1. Create a public repository (e.g., python-bdr-template).
2. Ensure it follows the 4-Layer Architecture.
3. Submit a Pull Request to update the README.md in this repository, adding your link to the “Reference Implementations” table.

2. Translations

BDR is global. If you want to translate the Manifesto or Guides into your native language:

1. Create a folder i18n/<language-code>/ (e.g., i18n/ru/).
2. Copy the markdown files and translate them.
3. specific technical terms like “Flow”, “Spec”, “Layer” should generally remain in English or have the English term in parentheses.

3. Improvements to the Standard

If you find a gap in the methodology (e.g., “How to handle mobile gestures?”, “How to do visual regression?”):

1. Open a Discussion first.
2. Propose a new Guide (e.g., guides/visual-testing.md).
3. Once approved, submit a PR.
