Introduction to Behat and automated functional testing

Have you ever ...

• Changed one part of your site and accidentally broken some other part but didn't notice until it was too late?

• Gotten an "unclear requirement" from a client, where you couldn't really tell if you've satisfied it or not?

• Asked non-developers to help with testing, but they missed things or didn't have the time?

If so, Behat might be able to help!

Behat (http://behat.org/) is a tool for doing automated, functional testing of your site. Unlike other functional testing tools, the feature specifications are written in human-readable text (rather than code)!

This means your client can sign off on them as part of the project's requirements and non-developers (even the client!) can help create them.

In this presentation, we'll look at some example Behat feature specifications and use them to test a Drupal site.
