Acceptance Test-Driven Development with David Evans : The course will give you practical exposure to all aspects of ATDD
Who Should Attend/Prerequisites
The course is aimed primarily at testers, developers and product owners who
are working on agile teams. The course is designed to provide an insight into
both the technical and nontechnical aspects of ATDD. It therefore includes such
details as how tests are automated against the application without using the
GUI, and for this we show examples featuring C# .NET code and the Fitnesse
framework. However, the principal learnings from this course are not tool or
technology specific, and are about the business–facing, non–technical aspects of
the process. The course is therefore still suitable for those who are not
coders.
Class Size Limit: 20 (Minimum 6)
Course Overview
The course will give you practical exposure to all aspects of ATDD, from
collaboratively specifying the design of features to solve business
requirements, to defining and illustrating features with testable acceptance
criteria and scenarios, to automating the acceptance tests against the
implementation without the need for expensive test tools.
The course uses the popular open–source acceptance test automation
framework Fitnesse for most example exercises, however the lessons and
principles will apply equally well for teams using similar alternative
tools.
