Wiki Training in Waterloo

FitNesse is a test framework written in Java that allows testers, developers and customers to collaboratively create test cases on a wiki. It enables an agile style of acceptance testing where testers collaborate with developers to develop a testing suite. FitNesse supports applications written in Java, .Net, Ruby, Python, C, and PHP using FitNesse. In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to use a Wiki based collaborative approach for creating and maintaining test cases, then executing those tests against a demo application. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Take examples of desired software behavior and turn them into automated tests that are viewable and editable through a Wiki
• Write and execute tests via the browser, command line (using RESTful syntax) or a JUnit test
