BDD with Cucumber.js Training Course

The 2-day Cucumber.js course shows how to apply BDD in practice: discover and formulate requirements using Given/When/Then, how to make your JavaScript app better by automating scenarios using Cucumber.js. It is all the same if you develop back-end (node.js) or front-end (eg. React) apps, through the series of course exercises you will acquire the necessary skills to become a BDD and Cucumber.js practitioner. The attendees shall receive a certificate upon the successful completion of the course.

You will learn:

• Work with Behavior Driven Development using Cucumber.js
• Write and maintain executable specification using the Gherkin (Given/When/Then) feature file format
• Drive the implementation of the application by BDD scenarios
• Design and implement a test automation layer that is easy to maintain even for larger number of tests
• Automate application through the domain layer or using browser automation
• Use Cucumber.js for ensuring the quality on the back-end (node.js)
• Use Cucumber.js for verifying the front-end code running in the browser (e.g. single-page apps with React or Angular.js) with WebdriverIO
• Use all important features of Cucumber.js
• Integrate these into the existing development process
• Become a strong member of a BDD team

• Introduction
• Defining your project requirements
• Setting up your environment for web application testing
• Gherkin: writing your stories in a user-friendly language
• The anatomy of the Feature file

• Writing step definitions
• Passing parameters to Steps
• Creating scenario outlines to pass multiple arguments
• Sharing data between steps
• Organizing features and scenarios with tags
• Setup and teardown
• Testing Angular applications with Cucumber.js
• Integrating Cucumber.js with Protractor
• Closing remarks

Module 1: Capturing Requirements with Given/When/Then

• Quick intro/refresh on Behavior Driven Development
• Specification by Example –The role of examples in specification:Discovering rules and examples using structured conversations and Example Mapping
• Given/When/Then through examples –Good and bad scenario writing patterns:Checklist for good scenarios; The Gherkin syntax
• Ubiquitous Language –A language that everyone understands:Focusing on the domain language; Separation of problem domain and solution domain; Domain model vs. scenarios

Module 2: Automation with Cucumber.js

• Introduction to Cucumber.js:Setting up Cucumber.js; Cucumber.js automation concept; Naming conventions
• Introduction to the scenario automation workflow:Test-first thinking; Outside-in development
• Working with DataTables:Working with the Table object; Table assertions
• Sharing state (data) between steps:Different state sharing options; Global nature of step definitions; World object
• Organizing step definitions: Finding the right structure for the binding code
• Automating web applications with WebdriverIO:Building up automation infrastructure. Using cucumber integration of WebdriverIO. Synchronous and asynchronous step definitions.
• Structuring the automation layer: Separation of automation and testing concerns; Layering the automation infrastructure; The Driver pattern; The Page Object Pattern; Nested page objects; Automating UI concepts; Assertions in the automation layer
