Description:
Lots of organisations talk about "shifting testing left" but what does that look like in practice? In this session, expert Cucumber coach and trainer Matt Wynne will explain how to get testers involved earlier in the delivery cycle using a Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) approach. You'll learn the impact that has on the team, and learn about a concrete practice - Example Mapping - that any team can employ to break down requirements and catch defects before they make it into the code.
Takeaways:
- What BDD is, and why it can benefit you
- How to organise your team to get the most benefit from Cucumber & BDD
- How to use Example Mapping to test requirements is important to apply a testing mindset to this area
