BDD with Cucumber Training in Kraków, Poland

Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) with Cucumber training focuses on teaching participants how to collaborate effectively across teams by using plain language to define software behavior. The course typically covers writing feature files in Gherkin, creating step definitions, and integrating them with test automation frameworks. Participants learn how to bridge the gap between business stakeholders and technical teams, ensuring shared understanding of requirements. The training often includes hands-on exercises to implement real-world scenarios and execute tests in various environments. By the end, attendees gain the skills to write, execute, and maintain BDD tests that improve software quality and team collaboration.
