Online Behavior Driven Development (BDD) Training in the UAE

This instructor-led, live training in the UAE begins with a discussion of BDD and how the Behave 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 Behave, as well as the necessary practice to implement these techniques and tools in real-world test scenarios.

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

This instructor-led, live workshop in the UAE 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.

This training program is tailored for both IT professionals and business personnel. Its objective is to enhance communication across departments throughout the software development lifecycle. Attendees will acquire skills in behavioral testing, enabling them to develop more dependable software without relying on expensive or sophisticated tools.

Behat is a Behavior Driven Development (BDD) testing framework developed in PHP. It enhances communication between developers, testers, business stakeholders, and clients throughout the software development lifecycle. Behat enables non-technical individuals to articulate clear descriptions of an application's expected behavior, which are then executed as functional tests.

In this instructor-led live training session, participants will learn how to create and run BDD-style test cases using Behat and PHP.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Execute automated tests written in the human-readable "Given, When, Then" Gherkin language
• Utilize Behat-based test cases to boost collaboration between technical and non-technical teams
• Integrate Behat with Selenium, Mink, Goutte, and other browser emulators for testing and reporting
• Enhance Behat's capabilities through its extension system
• Test various usage scenarios using terminal commands, REST APIs, and more.

Audience

• Test engineers
• Developers

Course Format

• The course includes lectures, discussions, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice.

This instructor-led, live training in the UAE (online or onsite) walks participants through real-life cases for Behavior Driven Development (BDD) and demonstrates hands-on how to implement Cucumber in various test scenarios.

Cucumber is an open-source BDD (Behavior Driven Development) framework designed for creating tests in a natural language format. BDD is an agile development approach that fosters collaboration between developers, QA professionals, and non-technical stakeholders within software projects.

This training starts with an overview of BDD and how Cucumber facilitates BDD testing specifically for web applications. Participants will have numerous opportunities to engage with the instructor and fellow attendees while applying the concepts and strategies learned in a practical, hands-on lab environment.

Upon completion of this course, participants will possess a solid grasp of both BDD and Cucumber, along with the necessary skills and tools to develop their own test cases for real-world software testing scenarios.

Course Format

• The training places significant emphasis on hands-on practice.
• A majority of the concepts are taught through examples, exercises, and practical development activities.

Note

• This course utilizes Eclipse and Selenium. If you prefer to use a different IDE or test automation framework, please contact us to make arrangements.
• If your team is transitioning from manual testing to automated testing for the first time, please reach out to us to extend the training to cover additional aspects of automation testing.

Cucumber.js is a native JavaScript version of Cucumber.

In this instructor-led live training session, participants will learn how to create and run BDD (Behavior-Driven Development) style test cases using Cucumber and JavaScript.

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

• Execute automated tests written in the human-readable language Gherkin
• Leverage Cucumber-based test cases to enhance communication and collaboration between technical and non-technical teams
• Integrate Cucumber.js with other testing frameworks like Protractor for Angular application testing

Course Format

• A combination of lectures, discussions, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice

This instructor-led, live training in the UAE (online or onsite) is aimed at test engineers and developers who wish to learn how to test a complex web application using Iridium. 

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Create end-to-end tests that simulate the actions of a user as they navigate a web application.
• Automate the testing of themed applications with multiple styles.
• Create test cases that are readable to non-technical people.
• Execute tests in a wide variety of browsers.
• Use the Iridium Snippets package for Atom to facilitate test script writing.
• Reduce the costs of maintaining custom Java code and page objects.

This instructor-led, live training in the UAE (online or onsite) is aimed at software test engineers who wish to learn how to write a set of test cases and a test suite, then execute the tests on a demo application.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Use Robot Framework's keyword-driven testing approach and tabular test data syntax to write and execute tests.
• Use consistent syntax to compose new keywords from existing ones.
• Carry out Gherkin-style Behavior Driven Development (BDD) tests (similar to Cucumber).
• Generate and interpret Report and Logs to troubleshoot failures in the tested application.
• Extended Robot Framework's capabilities using third-party libraries written in Python, Java, Perl, Javascript and PHP.
• Integrate Robot Framework with Selenium for testing web applications.

In this instructor-led, live training in the UAE, participants will learn how to use SpecFlow to write acceptance tests that are understandable by technical as well as non-technical stakeholders.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Bind business requirements to .NET code.
• Apply BDD techniques to build up living documentation for an application.
• Run SpecFlow from Visual Studio or the command line.
• Integrate SpecFlow into an existing continuous testing and build environment.
• Integrate SpecFlow with other testing frameworks such as MSTest, NUnit, xUnit and MbUnit.
