Overview
Behave is an open-source, Python-based BDD framework for writing tests in a natural language style.
BDD, or Behavior Driven Development, is an agile software development technique that encourages collaboration among developers, QA and non-technical business people in a software project.
This instructor-led, live training begins with a discussion of BDD and how the Behave framework can be used to carry out BDD testing for web applications. Participants are given ample opportunity to interact with the instructor and peers while implementing the concepts and tactics learned in this hands-on, practice-based lab environment.
By the end of this training, participants will have a firm understanding of BDD and Behave, as well as the necessary practice to implement these techniques and tools in real-world test scenarios.
Format of the Course
