So, are automated test retries good or bad? This is actually a rather controversial topic. I’ve heard many voices strongly condemn automated retries as an antipattern. While I agree that automated retries can be abused, I nevertheless still believe they...
Test Driven Development vs Behavior Driven Development
TDD vs BDD, Test Driven Development vs Behaviour Driven Development which is most important to get right? Most people think of BDD and TDD as having distinctly different focusses in an effective automated testing strategy. In fact they are more...
Specflow will be used to allow writing your test cases in the easy to understand Gherkin Syntax (Given-When-Then). Specflow is a behaviour Driven Development (BDD) for .NET. We will also use Selenium WebDriver to automate browsers and drive the UI....

SpecFlow is an open-source framework for Behavior Driven Development that provides a mechanism to turn specifications into executable code that can be used to create automated tests.
I will show you how you can start writing elegant acceptance tests for your .NET applications using SpecFlow. SpecFlow is an amazing tool, primarily used to BDD but it is also a great tool to use for Acceptance Testing.
Writing good Gherkin is a passion of mine. Good Gherkin means good behavior specification, which results in better features, better tests, and ultimately better software. To help folks improve their Gherkin skills, Gojko Adzic and SpecFlow are running a series...
Cela fait plusieurs années, que nous mettons en place les pratiques d’ingénieries logicielles, telles que TDD (Test Driven Development) et BDD (Behavior Driven Development). Je ne passerai pas en revue les avantages que ces pratiques apportent dans mes développements quotidien.
I’ve shown how GraphQL can speed up development by creating flexible/efficient APIs and fitting into a microservices architecture here. But up to this point, I was developing without any tests, as they were just example codes, but if we want...
