Ensuring the quality and functionality of a software product is to guarantee its correct structure, composition, execution, and integrity, but, in some cases, these characteristics are affected due to inefficient software management and development. The aim of this review was to identify good practices when using behavior-driven development. In its development, we investigated research articles categorized in indexed journals, in databases such as IEEE, ScienceDi-rect, Scielo, Scopus, and Redalyc, prepared between 2016 and 2020. The analysis and review allowed to identify good practices, such as the use of scenarios that are exclusively for tests of functionality; the organization of characteristics in folders, according to system scenarios; the contextualization of the operation in the same language as the clients, to facilitate communication; the use of labels to group scenarios; the organization of characteristics according to needs; and the generation of scenarios without dependency. We concluded that these good practices allow for adequate communication, structured software design, functional quality of each component of the code, and, above all, for an efficient product with a minimum risk of loss of resources and a high margin of success.
