Are BDD tests acceptance tests?

Question

Do you need something like Fitnesse, if you have BDD tests?

Answer 1

JBehave (and NBehave recently added the same support) work with regular test files so while many other frameworks add "BDD taste tounit tests" the text based behaviour specifications/examples created with JBehave are suitable for acceptance tests. And no, you don't need fitnesse for that.

To get an idea of how it works I suggest JBehaves 2min tutorial.
