- The Given-When-Then format (Gherkin language) and how it can be used to formalise Concrete Examples.
- Executable Specifications and how the Given-When-Then format can be turned into automated tests.
- Static Code Analysis and metrics - how to perform Code Analysis and establish metrics that will assist in improving your team's code base.
- Non-functional requirement testing and how to utilise tools to automate the testing of requirements such as Performance and Security.
- Living Documentation and how automated tests can be used to establish a shared understanding and a repository of how your system currently behaves.
- The Scrum framework and how best to include collaborative requirement refinement, test automation practices, and Living Documentation.
