The following epic has been written:
As a vehicle driver
I want to find an available space In a car park
So that I can pay in advance to reserve that space
This epic will be used to develop user stories for a new National Car Parking application Both public and private car park owners will be able to utilise the system, allowing drivers of all kinds to guarantee an available car parking space on arrival at their chosen car park, according to the kind of vehicle that they may drive
There will be multiple stakeholders including different car park owners, different user groups including disabled drivers and different vehicle types such as car. van and motorbike.
From this epic, multiple user stories will be written. The following acceptance criteria have been written for the epic, and will be applicable to all user stories (each user story will also have its own acceptance cntena):
1. End-to-end response time for any individual request submitted by a user must not exceed 5 seconds
2. All correspondence with stakeholders must be via email and text message
3. The application must be accessible on most mobile technology
4. A user cannot submit a form unless all mandatory fields are entered
5. Payment method can be made using the most popular electronic options
Applying the INVEST technique to this epic, including its acceptance criteria, which of the following statements is correct?

Why BDD and ATDD Align with Process-Compliant Testing:
Proactive Testing:
BDD and ATDD emphasize collaboration between stakeholders (business analysts, developers, testers, and product owners) to define the requirements before coding begins.
This proactive approach ensures that tests are integrated into the development process, reducing misunderstandings and errors upfront.
Structured Iterative Processes:
Both techniques fit seamlessly into Agile methodologies like Scrum and Kanban, where clear, iterative processes guide development and testing.
During sprint planning or backlog refinement, BDD/ATDD practices are used to refine user stories into concrete, executable test cases.
Specification by Example:
BDD and ATDD rely on defining concrete examples (acceptance criteria) collaboratively, which are directly converted into automated tests. This structured method underscores their alignment with process-oriented strategies.
Integration into CI/CD Pipelines:
The automated tests derived from BDD/ATDD become part of the CI/CD process, continuously validating that the system meets specified requirements. This exemplifies a process-compliant and proactive approach to quality assurance.
'Shift-Left' Testing Philosophy:
These practices embody the 'shift-left' approach, moving testing activities earlier in the lifecycle. This is characteristic of well-defined, process-driven methodologies.
Differentiating from Reactive:
While BDD and ATDD adapt to evolving requirements (a hallmark of Agile), they do so in a structured, iterative way, not as a reaction to unforeseen changes or issues.
Reactive testing typically addresses late-stage feedback or emergent problems, which contrasts with the upfront planning and collaboration integral to BDD/ATDD.
