Course Overview

More and more organizations are looking to Behavior Driven Development (BDD) and related practices, to gain or maintain their competitive advantage in software delivery. In this intensive workshop, participants will learn the principles and techniques of BDD using Specflow & Gherkin with .Net.

The course objective is to coach participants to apply test automation with framework collectively known as BDD test frameworks to adopt test-first method and, 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 importantly, program provides complete understanding of BDD as process and its implementation. All three stages; DiscoveryFormulation 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.

Software Requirements

Latest Visual Studio Community Edition (or any other .Net IDE) with Specflow plugin
