Testing is a crucial stage of the software development lifecycle and essential part of DevOps philosophy. This month thanks to Matt and Olwen we will learn how to do it right!

What we’ll do:
We’ll be setting up a Cucumber-JVM framework from scratch, making a GET, POST, PUT and DELETE request and putting in some Cucumber data-table transforms, with this we’ll parse some JSON responses, both simple and nested JSON.

What we’ll learn out of it:
You’ll learn how to set up a JVM framework, create a Cucumber table that transforms and test an open source API. You’ll also learn how to interact with JSON, both simple and nested.

For those coming to our Meet-Up for the first time, we believe in learning by doing, so please bring a laptop with you! The session will start with a short presentation introducing the topic and lead into a ~1hr-long hands-on lab. We will provide an environment for you, so anything with the web browser from this century should be sufficient!
