Tricentis Tosca is a software testing tool designed for automating continuous end-to-end testing for software applications.

In this instructor-led, live training participants will learn how to use Tosca to carry out end-to-end (web + backend) testing. The training combines theory with practice in a live lab environment, giving participants the chance to interact with the technology, the instructor, and their peers.

The training starts with an overview of traditional code and script-based automation testing and contrasts it with Tosca's model-based (MBT) approach. Participants learn how to create and execute test cases using Tosca's default modules as well as how to custom-build their own modules for execution.

From software modeling principles to test coverage across different browsers, this training walks participants through both theory and practice and enables them to implement their own testing solution in Tosca.

The Robot Framework is an open-source test automation framework for acceptance testing and acceptance test-driven development (ATDD). It uses keywords to abstract the details of a test, conveying the intent rather than the nuts and bolts. The core framework is implemented in Python and can be run on Jython (JVM) and IronPython (.NET). Robot Framework was orginally developed by Nokia.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at software test engineers who wish to learn how to write a set of test cases and a test suite, then execute the tests on a demo application.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Use Robot Framework's keyword-driven testing approach and tabular test data syntax to write and execute tests.
• Use consistent syntax to compose new keywords from existing ones.
• Carry out Gherkin-style Behavior Driven Development (BDD) tests (similar to Cucumber).
• Generate and interpret Report and Logs to troubleshoot failures in the tested application.
• Extended Robot Framework's capabilities using third-party libraries written in Python, Java, Perl, Javascript and PHP.
• Integrate Robot Framework with Selenium for testing web applications.

"40% to 70% of the time spent by many test automation teams is spent on maintaining their test suites ...either refactoring tests because the application changed but also just sifting through the results of the tests when they break..." -- John Furguson Smart, creator of Serenity.

Serenity is an open-source reporting library that enables testers to write well-structured, maintainable acceptance criteria. Serenity produces rich and meaningful test reports ("living documentation") that not only report on the test results, but also document what they did, in a step-by-step narrative format that includes test data and screenshots.

In this instrucor-led, live training participants will learn how to write high quality tests by employing "screenplays" and the idea of "actors, tasks, and goals" to express tests in business terms rather than as interactions between system components. We look at both functional and UI testing scenarios and demonstrate how Serenity can be used to manage their testing. All lecture, notes, quizes and discussions are accompanied by live hands-on practice and implementation.

By the end of this training, participants will understand the Serenity framework and be able to utilize it with comfort. As important, participants will learn to think of and approach test automation from a different light.

Format of the Course

• This course walks participants through real-life cases for Behavior Driven Development (BDD) and demonstrates hands-on how to implement Serenity in various test scenarios.

SpecFlow is the official Cucumber implementation for .NET. It allows testers to define, manage and automatically execute human-readable acceptance tests in .NET projects. SpecFlow uses the official Gherkin parser and supports the .NET framework, Xamarin and Mono.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to use SpecFlow to write acceptance tests that are understandable by technical as well as non-technical stakeholders.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Bind business requirements to .NET code.
• Apply BDD techniques to build up living documentation for an application.
• Run SpecFlow from Visual Studio or the command line.
• Integrate SpecFlow into an existing continuous testing and build environment.
• Integrate SpecFlow with other testing frameworks such as MSTest, NUnit, xUnit and MbUnit.

Format of the course

Behat is a Behavior Driven Development (BDD) test framework written in PHP. It facilitates communication among developers, testers, business stakeholders and clients during the software development process. Behat allows non-technical people to write clear descriptions of an application's intended behavior, then runs those "scenarios" as functional tests against the application.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to write and execute BDD style test cases using Behat and PHP.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Run automated tests written in the human-readable, "Given, When, Then" Gherkin language
• Use Behat based test cases to improve collaboration between technical and non-technical teams
