Description

This is a two-day instructor led course on Cucumber with Gherkin also using Selenium 3.0.  Developers, testers and the business have many issues collaborating to produce concrete examples of what they want as this usually raises misunderstandings and incorrect assumptions – which is a good thing.  Cucumber enables these examples to be automated as features which not only informs the team about what examples are working but also provides the software specification and tests in one document.
