Automated Acceptance and Web Testing

"Automated Acceptance Testing - a real game-changer"

Automated Acceptance Testing (ATDD) is a key agile development practice that can also be very beneficial for more traditional projects. Developers write automated functional tests that are specified collaboratively with the business. Key benefits include:

Reduced risk due to a better understanding of the requirements
Better team communication and an unambiguous definition of what needs to be done
Issues are detected and fixed faster
Faster releases due to comprehensive automated regression tests
Objective, real-time measures of progress

Automated Acceptance Testing Audit

We can review your team's current development process and help determine how Automated Acceptance Testing could work for you. This includes not only advice on how to best write automated acceptance tests for your application, but also recommendations on how to introduce this practice into your team and organization as a whole.

Training

We can teach your team all the finer points of automated web testing and automated acceptance criteria with a tailored on-site workshop, or you can attend one of our public sessions.

Mentoring and Coaching

Despite all the benefits of ATDD, it can sometimes be hard for a busy team to adopt ATDD without a little help.

We can help your team apply automated acceptance testing efficiently and with a minimum of effort. We can pair with your developers to help them write more effective web tests.

We can also write an initial set of tests that developers can use as a starting point and a reference for future tests.

And we can review your automated tests to ensure they are written optimally.

Automated Acceptance Testing with Thucydides

Thucydides is an open source library that lets you use WebDriver/Selenium 2to write better acceptance tests:

Write tests that are more flexible and easier to maintain
Produce illustrated, narrative reports about your tests
Map your automated tests back to your requirements more easily
And measure functional code coverage and project progress

Outsourcing

If your developers don't have the time to write the tests, we can write them for you!

This is a flexible approach that gives you the best of both worlds: high quality automated acceptance tests, with all the corresponding benefits, but without the initial developer effort.

And since these tests are written in Java using standard open source tools, your developers can take over whenever they are ready.
