This workshop coaches participants to understand design patterns and principles as tools to **manage design complexities** of modern software using effective techniques. The course covers the fundamental Design Patterns described in the Gang of Four (**GoF**) book. All creational, structural and behavioral patterns are covered. On top of that, other useful patterns and principles, like **GRASP** and **SOLID**, are taught with hands-on. More than **60 different design topics** are discussed. Attendees will learn when and how to use design patterns & principles and, when not to. The program includes most fundamental OO design principles such as *Dependency Injection*, *Open Closed Principle* and more. This workshop will be very useful for participants looking to dwell in *Microservices* Architecture in future. Participants will get **simple** introduction to **Architecture fundamentals**, **TDD**, **BDD**, **DDD** and **Microservices** as well.

##### Audience

Program is primarily for software developer who wishes to be efficient designer.  
This program is very useful for developers who wants to learn *Microservices Architecture* in future. 

##### Prerequisites

Participant must be able to code using their choice of IDE,  **object oriented language** (*C#, Java or any other like Javascript, C++, Python etc.*) and its standard library.[^1]

More and more organisations are looking to Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) and related practices, as a way to gain or maintain their **competitive advantage** in software delivery. In this intensive program, participants learn principles and techniques of BDD using **Cucumber** & **Gherkin** with Java. Primary focus of program is to allow participants to apply test automation with framework collectively known as BDD test frameworks to adopt **test-first** method and also, making tests accessible to non-technical users using **specification by example**. Participants will learn practices to allow writing **solid** and **reliable** tests & test code efficiently. Program includes many demonstrations. Participants will have hands-on during program with cucumber, junit and simple demo for serenity. **Test framework concepts** are also introduced so that participants can take test automation on another level.

More impotantly, program provides complete understanding of **BDD as process** and its implementation. All three stages; **Discovery**, **Formulation** and **Automation** are discussed in detail. Open Q&A sessions, demos and hands-on are included throughout the program.

BDD and Test automation using Cucumber for Java

Behavior Driven Development is a technique to increase team collaboration without sacrificing quality. Three aspects namely Discovery, Formulation, and Automation are well covered. Cucumber is taught a tool for automating and achieving Executable Specification. Learn everything there it is about BDD and Cucumber.

BDD with Cucumber

More and more organisations are looking to Test Driven Development (TDD) and related practices, as a way to gain or maintain their **competitive advantage** in software delivery. In this intensive program, participants learn principles of TDD. Primary focus of program is to allow participants to apply unit testing with frameworks collectively known as unit testing frameworks to adopt **test-first** method of coding. Participants will learn practices to allow writing **solid and reliable code** efficiently using TDD. ‘Unit testing framework’ refers to any of popular unit testing frameworks with architecture similar to Junit/TestNG for Java and Nunit/Xunit/MSTest for .Net. Similarties between such unit testing frameworks is also well explained. Javascript Unit Testing is demonstrated with Jest/Jasmine. Program includes many demonstrations. All demonstrations will be **good for programmers knowing any object oriented language** like C#, Java, Javascript, python etc. **Mocking** is explained in details with relevant frameworks. Participants will have hands-on during program with their choice of unit testing framework. On top of this, program includes topics like OO **design principles**, **SOLID**, **GRASP**, **Refactoring**, **Pair Programming**, introduction to Patterns, and Role of TDD in **Agile** Development. Beyond basic contents, program **introduces** concept of Behavior Driven Development (BDD) and Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD).

##### Audience

End-to-End Testing with Selenium

In this program, participants learn JMeter and its use cases. JMeter is a free and open source cross-platform **Web Server Testing** solution. With an easy-to-use graphical interface, and enterprise-class features, JMeter allows to easily and rapidly create and execute automated functional, regression, and load & performance tests. Program allows participants to use it to test on static and dynamic web resources. Participants learn how to use JMeter to test **Web Api** and **Rest/Soap**. Participants also learn to simulate a heavy load on a server, group of servers, network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different **load types and shapes**. Program includes demos and hands-on.

##### Audience

Program is primarily for participants who must be **software savvy testers** and **developers** who aspire to use JMeter to efficiently conduct web server testing.

##### Prerequisites

Participants should have reasonable experience with manual web testing.

Test automation using JMeter with focus on Load & Performance

Load & Performance Testing with JMeter

In this program, participants learn RestSharp and its use cases. Assuming little knowledge on participants-side, program starts with **basics of Http and Api**. It covers lot of ground for **Nunit** as well. RestSharp is a free and open source **rest api client library** for .net. With extensive configuration, auth support, serilaization, and first-class features, RestSharp allows to rapidly create and execute automated **rest api testing** when **combined** with Nunit, very capable unit testing library. Participants learn how to use RestSharp to deal with rest api requests and responses for various usecases including **authentition**. Program allows participants to use RestSharp with Nunit to test any rest api with **data driven testing**. Sometimes, BDD is preferred for Api Testing. Program includes important topics for **BDD with Specflow** and RestSharp. Program includes demos and hands-on.

##### Audience

Program is primarily for participants who must be **software savvy testers** and **developers** who aspire to use RestSharp and Nunit to efficiently conduct **.net api testing**.

##### Prerequisites

Participant must be **able to code** in C# with .Net standard library.
