BDUG: Automated testing and requirements definition using Behat for Drupal

This month at the Berkeley Drupal Users Group (BDUG) we'll be talking about Behat, a behavior-driven-development (BDD) tool that lets you write human-readable stories that describe the behavior of your application and can be auto-tested against your application.

Why might you want this?

As a developer (or as a client engaging an external vendor), have you ever struggled to communicate across the divide? Have you wished for a common language that you could use to define not only functions, but interactions?

Or! Have you ever applied an update to some module or other – I'm looking at you, Media and WYSIWYG – then realized some time later that another part of your site broke as a result? Isn’t that terrible?

Something should be done! How about using Behat?

This session will cover:
What Behat is – and isn’t
How to use it to define requirements
How to use it to automate testing of your requirements
A live demo using Behat to test interactive site features!
