learn-specflow

A simple .NET web application and tests to help teaching Specflow (Gherkin), NUnit, Coypu

** You will need Visual Studio Professional (2012 or later) for this tutorial. There is a work-around using the Express Versions (see https://github.com/techtalk/SpecFlow/wiki/Visual-Studio-Express-Integration) but, due to time constraints in this live coding presentation, we won´t be following that path.

** You can setup the VS to run NUnit tests. I prefer to use the external GUI, though...

Before we begin

• Install Visual Studio 2012 or later
• Go to Tools -> Online and type "Specflow" in the search box. Select the package and click on "Download". This will install the Specflow extension to your VS
• Download the NUnit stable release from http://www.nunit.org/
• Get your System Under Test (SUT) up and running

Setup

1. Create a new Class Library project for the tests. (use .NET Framework 4.0 or later)
2. Using the package manager, install the following packages: * SpecFlow.NUnit * Coypu
3. Open the App.config and, inside the Specflow tag, add

<language feature="pt-br" />

You will have something like:

  <specFlow>
    <language feature="pt-br" />
    <!-- For additional details on SpecFlow configuration options see http://go.specflow.org/doc-config -->
    <!-- For additional details on SpecFlow configuration options see http://go.specflow.org/doc-config -->
    <unitTestProvider name="NUnit"/>
  </specFlow>

Let´s code

1. The "Nunit test" scenario
2. The "Coypu test" scenario * Copy the AbstractStep class and the Chrome Driver from this repository ;) * In the future, you should get the Chrome Driver from https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver
3. The valid login scenario
4. The invalid login scenario

To do (by yourself)...

• Instead of opening a new browser every scenario, we should cache it and create only one for each feature (or even execution)...
• Using 2 or more browsers simultaneously for the same testcase
• Real tests ;)
