Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD) Training in the US

In this instrucor-led, live training in the US 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.

The training is designed for both IT and business staff. The aim of the course is to provide a way to facilitate communication between departments in the software development process. Participants learn behavioral testing to make it possible to create more reliable software without the need for costly and advanced tools.

Cucumber Electron is a framework for writing BDD (Behavior Driven Development) tests in plain language, with Electron, a framework for building desktop apps using Web technologies. It is intended for testing Javascript web applications. In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to write and execute BDD style test cases for node.js applications using Cucumber Electron. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Run BDD tests and application code in a single process (no transpiling)
• Write tests that are faster, less brittle and easier to debug

Audience

• Developers

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

JBehave is an open-source, Java-based BDD framework for writing tests in a natural language style. BDD, or Behavior Driven Development, is an agile software development technique that encourages collaboration among developers, QA and non-technical business people in a software project. This training begins with a discussion of BDD and how the JBehave framework can be used to carry out BDD testing for web applications. Participants are given ample opportunity to interact with the instructor and peers while implementing the concepts and tactics learned in this hands-on, practice-based lab environment. By the end of this training, participants will have a firm understanding of BDD and JBehave, as well as the necessary practice and toolset to write test cases for real-world software test scenarios. Audience

• Testers and Developers

Format of the course

• Heavy emphasis on hands-on practice. Most of the concepts are learned through samples, exercises and hands-on development.
