3. Behavior driven development
Behavior-driven development is a software development process
based on test-driven development (TDD)

4. Introduction to JBehave
JBehave is a framework for Behaviour-Driven Development

5. Automated testing with selenium
• Selenium is a suite of tools to automate web browsers across
many platforms.
• Selenium IDE is a complete integrated development
environment (IDE) for Selenium tests.
• Selenium Remote Control (RC) is a server, written in Java, that
accepts commands for the browser via HTTP.
• Selenium WebDriver is the successor to Selenium RC.

6. The page objects pattern
• More popular in test automation;
• Page object is an object-oriented;
• Serves as an interface to a page;
Enhancing test maintenance;
Reducing code duplication;
Web page Java class Test cases

7. How to add new test scenario
• Write new test scenario on the Gherkin like:
Scenario: “describes what should be passed”
Given: “given something”
When: “something happened”
Then: “should be something”
• Implementation for this scenario
@Given ("given something")
public void givenSomething() {
}
@When ("something happened")
public void whenSomethingHappened() {
}
@Then ("should be something")
public void thenShouldBeSomething() {
}

8. Running test scenarios through maven
Maven is a build automation tool used primarily for Java projects
Basic concepts, examples:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jbehave</groupId>
<artifactId>jbehave-core</artifactId>
<version>3.4</version>
</dependency>
<execution>
<id>unpack-view-resources</id>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>unpack-view-resources</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3.2</version>
<configuration>
<compilerVersion>1.5</compilerVersion>
</configuration>
</plugin>
mvn clean install
mvn install –Dtest=testname
mvn install -DskipTests

9. An example of best practices
• Each scenario must make sense and be able to be executed
independently;
• Stories may be dependent of each other. If so, they must
declare their dependencies;
• A scenario should consist of steps: "Given“, "When“, "Then";
• Steps of type "Given" and "When" should not perform a
verification;
• Steps of type "Then" should not perform actions;
• Each scenario should not run longer than 3 minutes.
• Step names should be written in business language terms.
