Testing with SpecFlow, with Stephen Nield and Rich Moran

Adelaide .NET User Group Podcast

SpecFlow is a framework for .NET used to create automated tests using the Gherkin Given-When-Then syntax.

In, this talk, you'll learn about how SpecFlow can be used to create BDD style tests, and also how it can be extended to be used for different testing scenarios.

Stephen and Rich will talk about their experience of using SpecFlow at HAMBS, some of the challenges they came across in the process, and how they extended the tool to meet the testing needs of HAMBS.

Specifically, they will discuss some of the practical problems that needed to be solved:

• Customising test steps so that a tester can write tests without needing to touch the code
• Database setup and assertions
• Ensuring each test starts in a consistent state
