[Agile Testing Day] Behavior Driven Development (BDD)Cellenza
Soyons honnête : nous aimerions tous tester nos plateformes, nos codes, mais personne ne le fait vraiment bien. Heureusement, ce n’est pas une fatalité, et il n’est jamais trop tard pour tester ! La vraie question est : comment tester ? Derrière toute stratégie de tests efficace, il y a une connaissance de tous les types de tests disponibles, de leurs coûts et de leurs utilités. Tout au long de cette journée, nous allons vous détailler les différents types de tests, du test unitaire au test de charge, afin que vous puissiez évaluer la pertinence de chacun dans votre propre contexte.
BDD (Behaviour Driven Development) is a synthesis and refinement of practices stemming from TDD (Test Driven Development) and ATDD (Acceptance Test Driven Development). Although BDD is principally an idea about how software development should be managed by both business interests and technical insight, the practice of BDD does assume the use of specialized software tools to support the development process.
This document discusses test-driven development (TDD) and behavior-driven development (BDD). It defines TDD as a process of writing automated tests before code to define desired functionality, then writing minimum code to pass tests and refactoring. BDD combines TDD techniques with domain-driven design and aims to facilitate collaboration between developers and business stakeholders. The document provides an example of using BDD to specify scenarios for generating life insurance risk quotes. It also outlines how to structure tests in TestBox and run test bundles.
This presentation introduces the audience to BDD - the Behavior-Driven Development method and how it can be applied to development and testing of GUI applications. We will also try to debunk myths and false hopes surrounding it.
BDD centers around stories written in an "ubiquitous language" that describe the expected behavior of an application. The use of a human-readable language allows for technical as well as non-technical project stakeholders to participate in authoring of feature descriptions. Those descriptions then serve as a base for the work of both developers and testers.
Classic agile and test-driven programming takes an inside-out approach by focussing on the specification and testing of the API of individual software components. BDD, on the other hand, looks at the application as a whole and puts interaction sequences and their expected outcomes into the foreground.
An introduction to the de-facto standard BDD language Gherkin will be given. It became popular as part of the Cucumber Ruby testing framework but has found its way into various free and commercial tools that will be listed.
A sample feature file including scenarios, outlines and backgrounds descriptions will be developed live using the Squish GUI Tester. This feature file can already be "run" in dry mode. We'll see different types of usage of this input:

Internal DSLs For Automated Functional TestingJohn Sonmez
Automated functional testing is one of the hardest things to get right on a project. Many people with high hopes set out to develop fully automated regression tests, only to be caught up in the tangle of fragile tests which are always broken. In this session I will present a clean way to build a framework using free tools to develop an internal Domain Specific Language custom to the application being testing. I will show the benefits of this approach versus the record and modify methods of most automated testing tools. In addition, I will talk about a real working practical example I have developed for the Dept of Health in Welfare in testing their new case management system.

You’ve built a new feature in your app that is ready ship. Or is it? How can you be sure you’ve not introduced regressions in cases you forgot to test? What if your code crashes only on certain devices? Could the feature freeze up for a few users?
Shipping frequently with little to no functional, UX or performance issues or regressions is not easy - but it’s also a problem that has been solved before. Where things get a lot more interesting is how to keep the same quality bar when you have hundreds of pull requests going in every day, with tens or hundreds of developers working on the same project? How do you test that your app still works - with this kind of scale?
In this talk, you’ll learn about the different approaches we combined into a system used by hundreds of mobile engineers at Uber to test our native iOS and Android apps during development, at release as well as when in production. We’ll talk about what did and what did not work for us on our journey of iterating frequently and continuously improving the quality bar.

5. What is Behavior Driven Development (BDD)?
What is Behavior Driven Testing (BDT)?
“BDD is a second-generation, outside-in, pull-based, multiple-stakeholder, multiple-
scale, high-automation,agile methodology. It describes a cycle of interactions with
well-defned outputs, resulting in the delivery of working,tested software that
matters.” - Dan North

6. What is BDD?
What is BDT?
Based on Test Driven Development
- Write a (failing) test
- Implement feature until test passes
- Unit-Test level granularity (inside-out)
But
- Focus on application's behavior and specifcation
- Describe in a human-readable DSL (e.g. Gherkin)
- Reduce focus on implementation details
7. Versatile usage of Feature Files
User story / feature specifcation
Communicate with customer / users
Document acceptance test
Create walk-through sequence for manual tests
Produce storyboard for test automation
8. Why Behavior Driven Development?
Why Behavior Driven Testing?
“Test frst”development on a higher level
Clearly separate test logic from implementation
Allow non-programmers to defne features & tests
Have a common, single language to communicate
10. What is BDD / BDT?
Feature: Validate address book entry
Scenario: Add address book entry
Given the Address book App is running
When I click Add Address
And enter Tom in the Forename field
And enter Smith in the Surname field
And enter 123.123.1234 in the Phone field
And enter tom@smith.com in the Email field
And click Save
Then the list contains the matching forename value
And the list contains the matching surname value

11. What is BDD / BDT?
Feature: Invalid phone number
Scenario: Invalid phone number
Given the Address book App is running
When I click Add Address
And enter Tom in the Forename field
And enter Smith in the Surname field
And enter Smith in the Phone field
Then the Phone field does not contain Smith
