BDD with Cucumber Java
Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) has become a well established approach to testing, providing ‘living documentation’ of the system under test, and being able to use the documentation to drive the test automation. Our BDD courses teach you what BDD is all about, how to write your Gherkin Feature files, and then how to bind the test automation code to the features. To learn more about BDD visit this page.
Our Cucumber Java course is the perfect introductory course on Behaviour-Driven Development. This course covers writing Feature Files in Gherkin, then generating Step Definitions and then writing the code bindings using Selenium WebDriver.
Delivery
The course is delivered online. It is live, instructor-led training over 3 days. Each day is an online session of approx. 3.5 hours. All delegates receive a comprehensive workbook, and the sessions are recorded. It can be accessed from anywhere in the world. We also offer on-site training at your offices if required.
Technologies used
This course uses Cucumber JVM, and WebDriver Java all in Eclipse (or IntelliJ if you prefer). The course prerequisite is that you have done some WebDriver or sat on our Selenium WebDriver course.
