JBehaveis an open source BDD framework originally written by Dan North, the inventor of BDD. It is strongly integrated into the JVM world, and widely used by Java development teams wanting to implement BDD practices in their projects.

In JBehave, you write automate your acceptance criteria by writing test stories and scenarios using the familiar BDD "given-when-then" notation, as shown in the following example:

Scenario: Searching by keyword and category

Given Sally wants to buy some antique stamps for her son
When she looks for ads in the 'Antiques' category containing 'stamps'
Then she should obtain a list of ads related to 'stamps' from the 'Antiques' category

You then implement the test steps in Java, e.g.

public class SearchScenarioSteps {
    @Steps
    BuyerSteps buyer;

    @Given("Sally wants to buy a $present for her son")
    public void buyingAPresent(String present) {
        buyer.opens_home_page();
    }

    @When("she looks for ads in the $category category containing $keyword in $region")
    public void adSearchByCategoryAndKeywordInARegion(String category,String keyword,String region){
        buyer.chooses_region(region);
        buyer.chooses_category_and_keywords(category, keyword);
        buyer.performs_search();
    }

    @Then("she should obtain a list of $category ads containing the word $keyword from advertisers in $region")
    public void resultsForACategoryAndKeywordInARegion(String category,String keyword,String region){
        buyer.should_only_see_results_with_titles_containing(keyword);
        buyer.should_only_see_results_from_region(region);
        buyer.should_only_see_results_in_category(category);
    }
}
