Serenity BDD for Automated Acceptance Tests

 7 Hours
In this instrucor-led, live training in Manchester participants will learn how to write high quality tests by employing "screenplays" and the idea of "actors, tasks, and goals" to express tests in business terms rather than as interactions between system components. We look at both functional and UI testing scenarios and demonstrate how Serenity can be used to manage their testing. All lecture, notes, quizes and discussions are accompanied by live hands-on practice and implementation. By the end of this training, participants will understand the Serenity framework and be able to utilize it with comfort. As important, participants will learn to think of and approach test automation from a different light.

BDD for Non-Programmers: Live Workshop

 14 Hours
This instructor-led, live workshop in Manchester begins with an introduction to BDD, what it is and how it is used by companies to promote good software design, development and testing. We do this from a non-engineering point-of-view, with an eye on the end-users, their requirements, language, and way of thinking. We also address the communication challenges that business stakeholders are likely to encounter as they work closer with their technical-minded peers. By the end of this training, participants will know how to:
  • Write succinct user stories that capture the usage patterns of real users of the software.
  • Translate their user stories into the behavioral language of BDD (Given, When, Then.)
  • Derive test cases from these stories, for use by engineers to implement and test.
  • Understand the relationship between product requirements, acceptance criteria, and test cases.
  • Demystify the technical jargon that impedes communication and understanding.
  • Install and use great tools for writing BDD feature files.
  • Understand and appreciate what happens once the work is handed to engineers.
  • Play a more active role in the iterative development cycle.

Behat: Behavior Driven Development (BDD) with PHP

 14 Hours
Behat is a Behavior Driven Development (BDD) test framework written in PHP.

  • Run automated tests written in the human-readable, "Given, When, Then" Gherkin language
  • Use Behat based test cases to improve collaboration between technical and non-technical teams
  • Integrate Behat with Selenium, Mink, Goutte and other browser emulators to drive tests and generate reports
  • Extend Behat functionality through its extension system
  • Test numerous usage scenarios through terminal commands, REST APIs, and more.
Audience
