Introduction to Agile Testing Training Course

This instructor-led, live training in the UK (online or onsite) is aimed at software testers who wish to use Postman for API testing.

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

• Execute tests using automated requests and workflows.
• Define, develop, test, and observe an API using a version control system.
• Generate dynamic data in a request.
• Document and organize tests in collections for team revision.

This instructor-led, live training in the UK (online or onsite) is aimed at software testers who wish to test REST web services with Postman, Java, and Rest Assured APIs.

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

• Automate webservice API testing using Postman and REST Assured API.
• Generate reports for execution results.
• Design and implement automation frameworks with REST Assured API.

In this instructor-led, live training in the UK, participants learn how to test web services using SoapAPI. We discuss how API testing can resolve some of the shortcomings of UI and unit based testing. The training includes practice sessions and an API test suite development project.

By the end of the training, participants will have a firm idea of when to implement API testing, how to explore and access APIs, how to carry out different types of testing on both SOAP and REST based APIs, and how to bring their work together into an integrated, automated test suite.

In this instructor-led, live training in the UK, participants learn how to use Rest Assured to test REST API services. We discuss how API testing can resolve some of the shortcomings of UI and unit based testing. The training includes practice sessions and a test development project. By the end of the training, participants will have a good understanding of when to carry out REST API testing, how to explore and access APIs, how to carry out different types of testing, and how to bring their tests together through integration and automation.

In this instructor-led, live training in the UK participants will learn how to use Tosca to carry out end-to-end (web + backend) testing. The training combines theory with practice in a live lab environment, giving participants the chance to interact with the technology, the instructor, and their peers.

The training starts with an overview of traditional code and script-based automation testing and contrasts it with Tosca's model-based (MBT) approach. Participants learn how to create and execute test cases using Tosca's default modules as well as how to custom-build their own modules for execution.

From software modeling principles to test coverage across different browsers, this training walks participants through both theory and practice and enables them to implement their own testing solution in Tosca.

Galen is an open-source web application testing framework for layout and functional testing. It uses Selenium to obtain the location and dimension of page elements, catch any misbehaving elements, then report them with a screenshot.  Galen supports both JavaScript and Java tests and is especially useful for layout testing of responsive websites.

This instructor-led, live course introduces participants to the Galen Framework and walks them through the setup and execution of various types of layout and functional tests.

Format of the Course

• Part lecture, part discussion, heavy hands-on practice, occasional tests to gauge understanding

In this instructor-led, live training in the UK, participants will learn how to use TestComplete's features, including its test object model, check points, name mapping, and UI to carry out automated testing on desktop, web, and mobile applications.

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

• Create, record and run functional tests.
• Create a scalable and maintainable test framework.
• Create checkpoints, adjust tests for multiple devices and analyze test results.
• Use TestComplete's script extensions.

In this instructor-led, live training in the UK (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.

This instructor-led, live training in the UK (online or onsite) is aimed at software test engineers who wish to learn how to write a set of test cases and a test suite, then execute the tests on a demo application.

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

• Use Robot Framework's keyword-driven testing approach and tabular test data syntax to write and execute tests.
• Use consistent syntax to compose new keywords from existing ones.
• Carry out Gherkin-style Behavior Driven Development (BDD) tests (similar to Cucumber).
• Generate and interpret Report and Logs to troubleshoot failures in the tested application.
• Extended Robot Framework's capabilities using third-party libraries written in Python, Java, Perl, Javascript and PHP.
• Integrate Robot Framework with Selenium for testing web applications.

In this instrucor-led, live training in the UK participants will learn how to write high quality tests by employing "screenplays" and the idea of "actors, tasks, and goals" to express tests in business terms rather than as interactions between system components. We look at both functional and UI testing scenarios and demonstrate how Serenity can be used to manage their testing. All lecture, notes, quizes and discussions are accompanied by live hands-on practice and implementation.

By the end of this training, participants will understand the Serenity framework and be able to utilize it with comfort. As important, participants will learn to think of and approach test automation from a different light.

In this instructor-led, live training in the UK, participants will learn how to use SpecFlow to write acceptance tests that are understandable by technical as well as non-technical stakeholders.

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

• Bind business requirements to .NET code.
• Apply BDD techniques to build up living documentation for an application.
• Run SpecFlow from Visual Studio or the command line.
• Integrate SpecFlow into an existing continuous testing and build environment.
• Integrate SpecFlow with other testing frameworks such as MSTest, NUnit, xUnit and MbUnit.

Behat 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

This instructor-led, live training in the UK begins with a discussion of BDD and how the Behave framework can be used to carry out BDD testing for web applications. Participants are given ample opportunity to interact with the instructor and peers while implementing the concepts and tactics learned in this hands-on, practice-based lab environment.

By the end of this training, participants will have a firm understanding of BDD and Behave, as well as the necessary practice to implement these techniques and tools in real-world test scenarios.

JBehave is an open-source, Java-based BDD framework for writing tests in a natural language style. BDD, or Behavior Driven Development, is an agile software development technique that encourages collaboration among developers, QA and non-technical business people in a software project.

This training begins with a discussion of BDD and how the JBehave framework can be used to carry out BDD testing for web applications. Participants are given ample opportunity to interact with the instructor and peers while implementing the concepts and tactics learned in this hands-on, practice-based lab environment.
