Come join the CNUG community in diving into the subject of Behavior Driven Development (BDD).

This time we will be hosted by Novo Nordisk at their great location in Ørestad where we have gathered two sessions of BDD for you.

In the first part Steffen will walk you through the how and what BDD is and give some examples of tools supporting the approach. He'll give a short introduction to BDD and Gherkin, which is the syntax used to describe business requirements in BDD. He'll also show a short demo on how to create tests using the framework Reqnroll, that can verify business requirements and can be setup to run automatically in the CI/CD pipeline.

In the second part Tomasz and Vigan from Novo Nordisk will present their approach to BDD, Test Automation and Requirements as Code using own built tool SpecTrack.

Talk Abstract:
"Sounds good, doesn’t work?" How many times have you heard that we can't or won't do something because of regulations? At Novo Nordisk, we challenge that notion. Join Tomasz and Vigan as they demonstrate how we integrate Behavior-Driven Development (BDD), test automation, and SpecTrack—our internal specification & traceability tool—to achieve a compliant Continuous Delivery flow in a highly regulated environment. Discover how we prove that compliance and modern software engineering can go hand in hand!

The agenda of the evening is roughly scheduled to:

• 17.00 - 17.10 Arrival and Welcome by CNUG
• 17.10 -17.20 Introduction by Novo Nordisk (Host)
• 17.20 - 18.10 Acceptance Testing Using Gherkin And SpecFlow (Steffen Jørgensen)
• 18.10 - 18.40 Networking break
• 18.40 - 19.30 Presentation of BDD, test automation and SpecTrack in practice at Novo Nordisk
• 19.30 - 20.00 Announcements and Goodbye

In collaboration with NDepend and twoday, CNUG has the pleasure of inviting you to for an event that will give you the possibility to dive deeper into the challenges of maintaining the quality of the code in your solutions.

!!BE AWARE, the presentation will be online, but the meetup is still only physical!!

Presentation
Join Patrick for a hands-on session focused on improving the structure and quality of your .NET codebase.

Using NDepend, he will walk through the analysis of a large, legacy open-source .NET website to illustrate practical strategies for managing technical debt and enhancing architecture.

You'll learn how to track progress against a baseline over time and leverage insights from Roslyn Analyzers, ReSharper Code Inspections and code coverage data.

The session will also demonstrate how to generate comprehensive web-based reports as part of your CI/CD pipeline.

Whether you're maintaining legacy systems or building new applications, this demo-driven session will provide you with actionable techniques to keep your codebase clean, maintainable, and future-ready.

Patrick and NDepend are also supplying us with two developer licenses for the evenings raffle so you can go right back home and try it out.

So come and join us and get the opportunity to have your questions answered by a leading code quality specialist.
