Behavior Driven Development (BDD) Training in Sao Paulo

This instructor-led, live training in Sao Paulo 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 Sao Paulo 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 Sao Paulo 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.

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.

This instructor-led, live training in Sao Paulo (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.

This one-day course walks participants through the fundamentals of RSpec, BDD (Behavior Driven Development) and other testing methods with hands-on exercises.

This instructor-led, live training in Sao Paulo (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 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 Cucumber is 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 Cucumber, as well as the necessary practice and toolset to write their own test cases for real-world software test scenarios.

Format of the course

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

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.

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
