Behat: Behavior Driven Development (BDD) with PHP Training Course

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.

Good rapport, Łukasz had time for everyone's questions and was able to help anyone who had any issue

Kelly Morris - Titian Software Poland Sp. z o.o.

Course - Selenium WebDriver in C#

Many exercises, which gave a lot of practical skills.

Rafal Borek - Bytamic Solutions sp. z o.o.

Course - Automation Testing with Cypress

Step by step analysis. Each line of code explanation. Every problem I had during the course was successfully solved and Łukasz told me the reason. I also liked good practices that have been presented. Never have I been convinced about TDD style - I just dont find it useful and worth its time. Łukasz pointed out so many advantages of TDD, it completely changed my opinion.

Course - Testing Angular Applications

Trainer is nice. His explanation is clear and interesting. He try to make the lessons interesting as possible. I enjoyed the lesson and gained a lot of knowledge. Thank you so much. The most useful technique I learned is the locating elements for different web component like textbox, radio buttons and buttons. Sometimes, the element ID is not capture correctly. We learned a different way of locating elements by using CSS selectors, XPath, Name and ID. I like the explanation. Thanks
