Description: Negotiated requirements are those that have been agreed upon by the stakeholders in a project, reflecting a consensus on what is needed to meet its objectives. These requirements are fundamental in behavior-driven development (BDD), where the aim is to align stakeholder expectations with software functionalities. The negotiation of requirements involves a collaborative process in which the needs and desires of end users, developers, and other stakeholders are discussed, refined, and prioritized. This approach not only helps clarify what is expected from the product but also fosters communication and collaboration among the different groups involved. Negotiated requirements are dynamic and can evolve throughout the development lifecycle, adapting to changes in the project context or business needs. Within the BDD framework, these requirements are translated into behavior scenarios that guide the development and testing of software, ensuring that the final product meets the agreed-upon expectations.
