Talk Description
Many organisations talk about "shifting testing left," but what does that look like in practice?Â
In this Masterclass, expert Cucumber coach and trainer Matt Wynne will explain how to involve testers earlier in the delivery cycle using a Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) approach. You'll learn the impact that has on the team and learn about a concrete practice. You'll identify how to use Example Mapping so that any team can break down requirements and catch defects before they make it into the code.
