DamageBDD: Behaviour Verification at Planetary Scale

1. DamageBDD: Behaviour Verification at Planetary Scale

Welcome! This short page introduces the DamageBDD book and offers a download link to the latest mobile-friendly PDF.

  • Audience: Beginners → advanced readers (developers, DevOps, architects, decision-makers)
  • Format: Modern LaTeX, A5 layout, comfy fonts (great on phones/tablets)
  • Scope: BDD fundamentals → DamageBDD execution → Behaviour-Driven DevOps → Verification Economy → ECAI (moonshot)

2. Abstract

If behaviour can be defined, it can be verified. The book starts with basic computer and testing concepts, moves into plain-language BDD (Gherkin), and then shows how DamageBDD executes those behaviours at scale—across APIs, browsers, infrastructure, and payments. You’ll learn advanced assertions (JSON/YAML), variables and context (with secret redaction), Selenium/Appium integration, performance/load testing, and scheduling. In DevOps, this becomes Behaviour-Driven DevOps*—pipelines that prove correctness, not just assume it. Finally, the book introduces the *Verification Economy (DAMAGE token on æternity + Lightning flows) and points toward ECAI (Elliptic Curve AI), a deterministic intelligence built on verification rails.

4. Try It Hosted (Optional)

You can run feature files at run.damagebdd.com. Note: Hosted execution requires Damage Tokens (DAMAGE) and a compatible wallet (e.g., Superhero). The dashboard also provides a secure installer script generator for one-click installs.

5. What You'll Learn (Highlights)

  • BDD, clearly: Gherkin, Given/When/Then, collaboration patterns
  • Execution: HTTP steps, JSON/YAML checks, variables, contexts (secret redaction)
  • UI & Mobile: Selenium/Appium flows
  • Ops: Journald/systemd, fail2ban, security hardening, log scanning, IPFS checks
  • Performance: Load/stress scenarios
  • Scheduling: Continuous verification with cron-like policies
  • Economy: DAMAGE token, invoices/hold-invoices, LNURL-Pay, payouts for passing runs
  • Future: From BDD rails to ECAI (deterministic, proof-anchored AI)
