Beyond Unit Testing

Unit tests are an important foundation of any testing strategy. However, unit tests on their own are not enough. A comprehensive test automation strategy must include other tests like integration and system tests along with functional and user acceptance tests. Beyond Unit Testing is a 2-day immersive training and learning experience that covers integration, system, UI, and acceptance testing automation.

In the Certified Scrum Developer (CSD) – Agile Engineering Practices class, participants got an introduction to writing unit tests and then saw a demonstration on how to take the unit testing approach and expand it to integration and system tests.

In this course, programmers are given an existing application that only has unit tests, and then they build out the rest of the test suite by writing database integration tests, domain integration tests, UI integration tests as well as end-to-end acceptance tests in order to build a more comprehensive test suite. Over 70% of this class involves hands-on coding through sample exercises in Java. Programmers go beyond using junit and work with other tools like gherkin, cucumber, and selenium.

Who Should Attend

The class is appropriate for programmers that already have a Certified Scrum Developer certification (CSD or ACSD) and have at least 1 year of programming experience and an understanding of Object Oriented Design. Over 70% of this class involves hands-on coding exercises and attendees are required to bring laptops equipped with their favorite ide such as visual studio, visual studio code, or eclipse.
