BDD with Ruby on Rails

Ruby on Rails is the cleanest and fastest way to develop industrial strength web applications. It is based on the awesome Ruby language, and by adhering to principles like convention over configuration and DRY, it makes the developer's life pretty easy. In fact, Rails is pure fun!

Behavior Driven Development(BDD) is a second generation agile methodology that grew out of the frustrations the first generation agilists faced with Test Driven Development. BDD encourages collaboration between developers, QA and business participants in a software project. BDD helps to write test cases in a natural language that non-programmers can read and there by facilitates in obtaining clear understanding of desired software behavior.

Testimonials

My expectations from the workshop was merely to understand the Rails framework, and get over the initial pain that a developer goes through in the process of learning a new framework/technology himself. However, what I got in this workshop was much more than that.

The content was very well hand-picked and prepared to provide the essential knowledge as well as to keep the audience interested throughout. The hands-on session were a very good supplemented to the theory classes.

Arun and Suresh are two thorough professionals and the in-depth knowledge of the topics showed during the workshop. The personal touch to the training - of ensuring that the pace matched every single person on-board was a stand-out feature!
