Avoiding Storms with BDD & Automated Testing
 

Avoiding Storms with BDD & Automated Testing

The quicker you find a bug, the quicker it is to fix.

How cool would it be to write tests in plain text? With BDD (Behavioural-Driven Development) and Gherkin syntax you can write unit test scenarios in plain text using a few key words (Given, When, Then). Plain text makes the test scenarios easy to understand, even for non-techies.

How cool would it be to never have to do manual tests? With automated UI testing, you can create quick ‘smoke’ tests to check your UI is working as expected using the BDD method outlined above. Matt Goldman’s video below is a great example of this.

How cool would it to be to record your tests? I remember when Excel Macros got people so excited back in the day. Excel allowed the masses to click “Record a macro” and then it would write the VBA script for you. We used to use Selenium automated tested, these days we use Playwright as it is more solid. One of the other cool things about Playwright is, you can record the automation as a video. Is that awesome or is it super awesome?

See how you can use BDD and Automatic UI Testing on your next project
