BDD with Cucumber Workshop (Bring A Laptop)
Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) employs the approach of specification by example. Cucumber is such an amazing BDD tool because it’s so good at mapping stories and acceptance criteria to automated functional tests. This is a hands-on workshop using Cucumber-JVM that will have you writing and automating acceptance tests on your own laptop by the conclusion of the session.
This workshop will cover:
- Building quality in
- Understanding the place of BDD - The agile testing matrix.
- Why test automation?
- Build the right product using specification by example
- The need for Ubiquitous Language
- Writing scenarios with Cucumber
- Using Cucumber to test web applications
This is a hands-on 90 minute workshop with Cucumber-JVM using Java, you will need a laptop running the JDK and a text editor (doesn't have to be an IDE). Class tools, materials and code exercises will be provided.
