BDD - Behavioral testing of IT systems Training Course

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.

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.

Behat is a Behavior Driven Development (BDD) test framework written in PHP. It facilitates communication among developers, testers, business stakeholders and clients during the software development process. Behat allows non-technical people to write clear descriptions of an application's intended behavior, then runs those "scenarios" as functional tests against the application.

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

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

• 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

• Test engineers
• Developers

Format of the course

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

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.

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.

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.

Cucumber.js is a native JavaScript implementation of Cucumber.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to write and execute BDD (Behavior Driven Devleopment) style test cases using Cucumber and Javascript.

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

• Run automated tests written in the human-readable language, Gherkin
• Use Cucumber based test cases to improve communication and collaboration between technical and non-technical teams
• Integrate Cucumber.js with other testing frameworks such as Protractor for testing Angular applications

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy 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 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

Note

• This training uses Eclipse and Selenium. If you wish to use a different IDE or test automation framework, please contact us to arrange.
• If your team is moving from manual testing to automation testing for the first time, please contact us to arrange extending the training to include additional coverage of automation testing.

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.
