Behavior Driven Development (BDD) Training in South Africa

This instructor-led, live workshop in South Africa begins with an introduction to BDD, explaining what it is and how companies use it to promote effective software design, development, and testing. We approach this from a non-engineering perspective, focusing on end-users, their requirements, language, and thinking patterns. We also address the communication challenges business stakeholders are likely to encounter as they collaborate more closely with technical-minded peers.

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

• Write concise user stories that capture the usage patterns of real software users.
• Translate their user stories into BDD's behavioural language (Given, When, Then).
• Derive test cases from these stories for engineers to implement and verify.
• Understand the relationship between product requirements, acceptance criteria, and test cases.
• Demystify technical jargon that hinders communication and understanding.
• Install and use effective tools for writing BDD feature files.
• Understand and appreciate what happens once work is handed over to engineers.
• Play a more active role in the iterative development cycle.
