Learn to use Behaviour-Driven Development Techniques to improve Agile communication within your business.
Our instructor-led BDD with Cucumber training course will give you the skills to implement Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) techniques in your software product development projects, with the aid of Cucumber – a “story-based” framework, which allows the desired features of a system / application to be written in the native language of the program as either specifications or functional tests.
Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) is an Agile methodolgy aimed at improving the communication and collaboration between Software Developers, Quality Assurance / Testers, Business Analysts, and other parties involved in bringing a project to fruition.
BDD allows you and the project stakeholders to have a clearer understanding where the project is at any given time. You can write Features and Scenarios in plain English that can be executed against your project code to verify the state of the project.
Our public courses typically rely on a simple Ruby on Rails application to which delegates will learn to apply BDD Best Practices. We are very happy to work with other technologies as required (or look at pure Cucumber and Gherkin syntax for non-coders).
"There was good breadth to the topics without giving too much information for an introductory course. The interactive activities were good. It was good to get suggestions specifically relating to what we do."

"I, along with three colleagues, came on the Agile course. The training was fantastic. I have limited Agile knowledge and this helped answer all the questions I had, in an impartial and helpful way. I learned more about Scrum than I have done in the past and heard of different frameworks that I didn’t know existed and much of this was down to the instructor: his approach, style and knowledge. Please pass on my thanks and I cannot recommend Framework highly enough based on this session."

"I engaged with Framework to support a department-wide transition to Agile Development Practices. The Kick-start programme provided training for the larger organisation, hands-on role and tool-specific training and follow-up coaching. The Agile adoption was and continues to be a success. Scrum is now bedded in and we are making full use of JIRA. Framework's expertise and flexibility made this a very positive experience throughout."
