Also, we will find out about how continuous integration tools may be useful while Web services testing and how they can warn the team of suddenly appearing problems on the server side.”

Topic No. 3: “The reason why I am not very fond of Keyword Driven Testing generally and FitNesse specifically”

Speaker: Evgeniy Lozovan

Description:

It is commonly believed that Keyword Driven Testing and its development, Behavior Driven Testing, are a kind of panacea or “solution for all”. Promotional videos are impressive, but in reality everything differs a bit from the world of conferences and review articles. This report is my very subjective opinion I formed all through usage of KDD on a real project.

Duration: 20 min

Tags: keyword-driven, FitNesse, functional test automation, test automation effectiveness.
