Automate Windows Desktop Applications with AutoIt
14 HoursIn this instructor-led, live training in the UAE (onsite or remote), participants will learn how to use AutoIt to automate window applications as they step through a series of hands-on live-lab exercises.
Behat: Behavior Driven Development (BDD) with PHP
14 HoursBehat 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
- Integrate Behat with Selenium, Mink, Goutte and other browser emulators to drive tests and generate reports
- Extend Behat functionality through its extension system
- Test numerous usage scenarios through terminal commands, REST APIs, and more.
Audience
- Test engineers
- Developers
Format of the course
- Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice
