Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll ensure your system behaves according to customer requirements by implementing acceptance tests. You’ll use SpecFlow and Gherkin to test existing functionality, WireMock to test each service with a fake interaction between services, and, finally, use behavior-driven development (BDD) and test-driven development (TDD) to create a new service.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
