Acceptance Testing with FitNesse/FitNesse.NET

Introduction

In any software project you ideally need verify that the software works as expected as soon it's complete. In an Agile/Iterative project, this becomes critical with new software components completing of a regular basis, often every 2 or 3 weeks. The problem is that you can't just verify each single feature as it is completed. You must ensure that introduction of that new feature doesn't break anything in the rest of the system. In systems of any real size, the only way to do this in reasonable time is by automating as many tests as possible.

Course Description

This course shows how to produce Automated Acceptance Tests using one Fit and FitNesse Frameworks. The course can be taken in either Java or .NET environments and its possible to mix both technologies during the same course The course covers takes the student from the definition of high quality acceptance tests through their implementation using Fit ad FitNesse or FitNesse.NET.
