BDD with Python and Behave Training Course

Behave is an open-source, Python-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 instructor-led, live training 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.

Format of the Course

Heavy emphasis on hands-on practice. Most of the concepts are learned through samples, exercises and hands-on development.

Course - Developing APIs with Python and FastAPI

It was a though course as we had to cover a lot in a short time frame. Our trainer knew a lot about the subject and delivered the content to address our requirements. It was lots of content to learn but our trainer was helpful and encouraging. He answered all our questions with good detail and we feel that we learned a lot. Exercises were well prepared and tasks were tailored accordingly to our needs. I enjoyed this course
