Serenity BDD for Automated Acceptance Tests

7 Hours
In this instrucor-led, live training in Edmonton 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.

BDD for Non-Programmers: Live Workshop

14 Hours
This instructor-led, live workshop in Edmonton 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.

Testimonials (14)

Use of powerpoint / paint to create the training materials as we went along. Benefit of the trainers experience. Use of the "cinema booking tool" example and our break out group case studies really brought the approach to life

Mark - Leeds Building Society
Course - BDD for Non-Programmers: Live Workshop

Craig was really helpful and the material was very useful to hopefully take away and use in our actual day to day jobs. We were able to work on real life examples linked to our current work, which Craig supported and gave feedback. This was really helpful

David Pinkstone - Leeds Building Society
Course - BDD for Non-Programmers: Live Workshop

The training was great, I could see that a lot of prep had gone it to pitch it at the right level of detail and to make the exercises relevant. I am already using BDD at a very simple level, so I was most interested in how the BDD statements are used by testers and automation testers, and therefore how I could improve what I do to make it more usable by other team members.

Sadie Brown - Leeds Building Society
Course - BDD for Non-Programmers: Live Workshop

Understanding how I can apply user stories and BDD in my team - I've already gotten good feedback from the changes I've made to my work as a result of the training
