Behavior Driven Development (BDD) Training in Savannah

This instructor-led, live workshop in Savannah begins with an introduction to Behavior-Driven Development (BDD), explaining its principles and how it is utilized by organizations to foster effective software design, development, and testing. The training is tailored for non-engineering professionals, focusing on the perspectives of end-users, their requirements, language, and thought processes. It also addresses the communication challenges that business stakeholders may face when collaborating closely with their technically-minded colleagues.

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

• Craft concise user stories that accurately reflect the usage patterns of real software users.
• Translate these user stories into the structured behavioral language of BDD (Given, When, Then).
• Derive test cases from these stories for engineers to implement and validate.
• Comprehend the relationship between product requirements, acceptance criteria, and test cases.
• Clarify technical terminology that can hinder communication and understanding.
• Install and utilize effective tools for writing BDD feature files.
• Gain a deeper appreciation of the processes involved once the work is transferred to engineers.
• Play a more active role in the iterative development cycle, enhancing collaboration and outcomes for government projects.

The training is designed for both IT and business staff within government agencies. The aim of the course is to facilitate effective communication between departments in the software development process for government. Participants will learn behavioral testing techniques to enhance the reliability of software, reducing the need for costly and advanced tools.
