Behaviour-Driven Development

When designing, developing and delivering software, teams need to communicate and collaborate clearly and effectively to avoid misinterpretations of requirements and dissatisfaction as a result of unmet expectations. Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) is a methodology and collection of practices that aims to put the important discussions upfront and deliver software that meets and exceeds expectations.

  • Running discovery workshops
  • Specification by Example and Example Mapping

    Some prior exposure to an object-oriented programming language is required. Inspired Testing offers an Introduction to Programming course (LINK) that is an excellent preparation to this course.


  • Do I need any special equipment or software?

    Open or Close

    You do not need any special equipment, however, an external mouse and a second screen will be helpful.

  • Will the training sessions be recorded?

    Open or Close

    Yes, each session is recorded and made available to you afterwards. If you have a problem with you being recorded, we can make arrangements so that everybody is comfortable to attend and participate in the course.


  • Will I need to write an exam?

    Open or Close

    Practical exercises are a big part of this course, both during the sessions as well as take-home exercises in between sessions. At the end of the course, you will be required to complete a capstone assignment which assesses your grasp of everything that has been covered in the sessions. No theory questions will be asked.


  • Will we have FUN in this course?

    Open or Close

    Yes, indeed this is the intention. Our trainers are not only excellent practitioners in their field, they also have extensive experience in transferring their experience and knowledge to others in a pleasant and comfortable manner. They also enjoy sharing many amusing and illuminating anecdotes from their careers to-date.


  • What tools and languages will we use in the course?

    Open or Close

    The course covers both low-code API testing tools (Postman) as well as API testing libraries in code. Depending on the language used in the course, this can be REST Assured (Java), RestSharp (C#), requests (Python), or another library if that better fits the learning requirements. You will also be using API mocking libraries such as WireMock (for Java) or responses (for Python) and consumer-driven contract testing tools (Pact) extensively in this course.
