Serenity BDD for Automated Acceptance Tests Training Course
"40% to 70% of the time spent by many test automation teams is spent on maintaining their test suites ...either refactoring tests because the application changed but also just sifting through the results of the tests when they break..." -- John Furguson Smart, creator of Serenity.
Serenity is an open-source reporting library that enables testers to write well-structured, maintainable acceptance criteria. Serenity produces rich and meaningful test reports ("living documentation") that not only report on the test results, but also document what they did, in a step-by-step narrative format that includes test data and screenshots.
In this instrucor-led, live training 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.
Format of the Course
- This course walks participants through real-life cases for Behavior Driven Development (BDD) and demonstrates hands-on how to implement Serenity in various test scenarios.

Tosca: Model-Based Testing for Complex Systems
35 HoursIn this instructor-led, live training in the UAE participants will learn how to use Tosca to carry out end-to-end (web + backend) testing. The training combines theory with practice in a live lab environment, giving participants the chance to interact with the technology, the instructor, and their peers.
The training starts with an overview of traditional code and script-based automation testing and contrasts it with Tosca's model-based (MBT) approach. Participants learn how to create and execute test cases using Tosca's default modules as well as how to custom-build their own modules for execution.
From software modeling principles to test coverage across different browsers, this training walks participants through both theory and practice and enables them to implement their own testing solution in Tosca.
Test Automation with Galen Framework
14 HoursGalen is an open-source web application testing framework for layout and functional testing.
