When done properly, Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) can drastically improve the communication and understanding of requirements. An additional benefit is being able to utilize the domain-specific language of the requirements to drive test automation. However, like any other automation initiative, when done poorly, this too can fail.
In this webinar, Angie Jones provides a hands-on technical look into how to:
- utilize Gherkin-written scenarios for test automation
- write scenarios in a way that promote maintainability and reusability
- take advantage of advanced Gherkin functionality such as data tables and objects
- tie the scenarios to automation code
- incorporate this approach into existing automation frameworks that use the page object model design pattern
- share state across multiple steps within a scenario
Upon completion of this webinar, you’ll have a better understanding of how to:
- Enhance your BDD initiative with test automation
- Cleanly extend an automation framework to support executable requirement specifications
- Support advanced techniques such as data tables and objects within specifications, as well as sharing state through dependency injection.
