Best training for writing high quality test code. I’ve learned documenting the REQUIREMENTS, and illustrating how these work and are tested, than simply reporting test results. Serenity works well with Cucumber. In this training I’ve learned how use Serenity BDD and Cucumber for both executable specifications (for new features) and living functional documentation. Serenity BDD helps me to write higher quality test automation faster; I need to write less than half the code than a conventional Selenium-based framework.
