BDD with Specflow
3 Days
Intermediate
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 Specflow & Gherkin with .Net. 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 Specflow and NUnit for various tests. 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.
Audience
Program is primarily for developers & testers and any Team member that are directly involved with Test Automation using C#.
Prerequisites
Participant must have beginner level knowledge of .Net.
