On March 2nd, Dave Evans and I are running a FitNesse clinic in central London starting at 6:30 PM. This is a unique opportunity to get your FitNesse tests reviewed for free and get help with writing and maintaining FitNesse tests and suites.

Dave and I will discuss some of the common pitfalls faced by teams in getting to grips with Fitnesse. We will show examples of good and bad acceptance tests, illustrating how different styles of fixtures lend themselves to different types of tests. We also highlight some of the features of Fitnesse that allow you to keep your tests expressive, useful and easy to maintain.

Make this interactive and bring your own test examples to be discussed, critiqued and improved upon in a group workshop.

Here’s the video from my talk on Behaviour Driven Development and Acceptance Testing with Cucumber last week.
