Course: Fitnesse Workshop (2 days)
- Target audience:
- Analysts, testers, programmers
- Class size:
- 12 to 24
- Prerequisites:
- None
Fitnesse combines the ease of use of a Wiki with the power of being able to define acceptance tests via a series of tables (known as Fit tables). Fitnesse tests can act as the negotiation point between programming and the business.
This course covers both Fitnesse fundamentals and advanced Fitnesse techniques for an immersive learning experience. You'll visit and understand most of the feature set that Fitnesse has to offer.
You'll also learn how to best express requirements in Fitnesse. Fitnesse contains numerous features that can help you turn a jumble of a test into a flow that anyone in the organization, including non-technical domain experts, can readily understand.
This is a hands-on course, where students learn to build their own working Fitnesse tests. Note that this is not a programming course and does not teach how to program fixtures. The Fitnesse Programming Crash Course provides hands-on experience in building custom Fitnesse fixtures.
The Fitnesse Workshop is currently offered for both C# and Java environments. We can also build support for C++ and Ruby classes if you're interested!
