The document outlines a presentation by Harsh Murari on BDD and Cucumber-based test automation frameworks, focusing on the offerings of Rhoynar Software Consulting. It discusses the principles of behavior driven development (BDD), continuous integration infrastructure, and software testing tools like Autotestr and Emailverify. The summary highlights how BDD facilitates business-centric software development and provides robust regression testing through scenarios written in simple English syntax.

6. Open Source Initiatives

7. Continuous Integration Infrastructure

8. CI Infra Workflow

9. AutoTestR –
Page ObjectAuto Generation
• AutoTestR uses node.js framework to parse
the DOM for the page and generate
corresponding test object code.
https://github.com/Rhoynar/AutoTestR

10. AutoTestR Graph BasedTest Case Generation
- Each node represents a page-object
(or rather business object)
- Each node specifies what are its
exported interfaces, what are its next
states
- Based on this graph, AutoTestR
auto-generates test case skeletons
as well!
- ExampleTest Cases:
- Login->Unregistered Page
- Login->Main Page->CreateUser->End
- Login->Main Page->SearchUser->End
- Login->Main Page->DeleteUser->End
- Login->Main Page->Unregistered Page

11. EmailVerify:Verify Email Notification Receipt
UseCase
- Web Application Sends a Notification/Email to Users
- Test Automation Wants toVerify if Email has been
received?
- Email with certain Subject Line has been received?
- Email with certain content has been received? Etc
https://github.com/Rhoynar/EmailVerify
Use EmailVerify Library
- Simple to use: startMonitor(),
verify(), stopMonitor()
- Multiple variations of use-cases and
regular expression parsing support!

12. BDD/Cucumber based QA-
Automation Framework
https://github.com/Rhoynar/qa-automation
• Project for barebones QA Automation Development Using:
• Java
• BDD
• Cucumber
• TestNG
• Maven

13. What is BDD (Behavior Driven Development)?
• BDD Keeps Business Behavior in sync with Software Development
• ExtendsTest Driven Development to cover BusinessAcceptanceTests

14. How can I write tests without actual code?
• BDD Uses Simple English Syntax (Gherkin)
• BDD uses example based ‘Scenarios’
• Each ‘Scenario’ is noted in the form of ’Given’, ‘When’, ‘Then’

15. Outside In Approach
• Start with a
conversation
• Determine the
business value
• Provide Examples
of use

16. BDD Example:
Simple Login Scenario
Step Definitions

17. Does this only work withWeb Based Applications?
• BDD can be work with any type of application!
• We recently used BDD to load builds onto Android Device.
Scenario: Load Android Build onto device
Given Device is Connected
When I load the build
Then Device is detected in ADB
Automatic Conversion to Code
public void device_is_connected() {…}
public void i_load_the_build() {…}
public void device_detected_in_adb() {…}

18. Building Blocks of Scenarios
• BDD Allows to build on top of existing scenarios easily
• Existing step-defs can be re-used, only new steps need to be written
• Less Code Repetition – better regression framework
Scenario: Load Android Build onto device
Given Device is Connected
When I load the build
And I reset the device
Then Device is detected in ADB
With only one additional step, I have a new test case
public void device_is_connected() {…}
public void i_load_the_build() {…}
public void i_reset_device(){…}
public void device_detected_in_adb() {…}

19. Demo
• Yahoo Login Example
• Source Code: https://github.com/Rhoynar/qa-automation

20. Summary
• BDD minimizes communications, hides implementation details and
provides robust regression tests.
• BDD Provides Building blocks of scenarios and step-definitions, so
incremental test can be written easily.
