Opleiding: SpecFlow Acceptance Testing
In the course Acceptance Testing with SpecFlow from SpiralTrain it is discussed how the open source framework SpecFlow in combination with the scenario language Gherkin can be used to write the specifSpecFlow BDD
SpecFlow, also called Cucumber for .NET, is a Behavior Driven Development tool with which test scenarios are drawn up in common language in consultation with the customer and end user. The scenarios are also intended for developers and serve as input for the generation of automated test scripts in a programming language and test framework.
Gherkin Feature Files
In the course Acceptance Testing with SpecFlow attention is paid to the compilation of Feature files, the syntax of the Gherkin specification language and the creation of a template file for the step definitions. Various SpecFlow configuration options are explained.
SpecFlow Hooks
Furthermore, Data Driven testing with SpecFlow and the parameterization of tests are discussed. The application of hooks that are performed before, after or during a test step is also on the course schedule.
SpecFlow Integration
Finally attention is paid to SpecFlow tags, SpecFlow expression language and the integration with the NUnit Test Framework. The course Acceptance Testing with SpecFlow uses C# as the programming language and NuGet for downloading SpecFlow and NUnit dependencies.
Audience Course Acceptance Testing
The course Acceptance Testing with SpecFlow is targeted at testers, developers and others who want to use SpecFlow and Gherkin for the specification of automated tests.
Prerequisites Acceptance Testing with SpecFlow
Experience with testing and/or programming in C# or Java is strongly recommended to participate in the course Acceptance Testing with SpecFlow.
Realization training Acceptance Testing
The theory is explained by means of presentations and demos. Scenarios are implemented as exercises in C# with the Visual Studio development environment. Theory and practice are interchanged. Course times are from 9:30 to 16:30.
Certification Acceptance Testing with SpecFlow
After successful completion of the course, the participants receive an official certificate Acceptance Testing with SpecFlow.
