Behavior Driven Development (BDD) with Ruby on Rails using RSpec and Capybara provides a thorough introduction to using BDD to building web applications using the popular Ruby on Rails framework. Why BDD to build web applications? The advantages are numerous, and Feature specs used extensively in BDD read like plain English which allows end users and developers to easily communicate with each other using BDD tools. In addition, it is easy for the end users to write the features themselves.
This course is designed for students who have some Ruby on Rails or web application development experience who want to take their skills to the next level but have no or limited experience in BDD or automated testing.
