Acceptance Test Driven Development Training with Michigan Technology Services

Michigan Technology Services offers instructor-led Acceptance Test Driven Development training, as well as other Agile and Scrum courses, through a partnership with a globally recognized, experienced Acceptance Test Driven Development ATDD trainer. The Acceptance Test Driven Development training can take place at our location in Farmington Hills, 20 miles outside of Detroit, or onsite at your office anywhere throughout the United States or Canada.

While many Agile trainers fly into metro Detroit to deliver Scrum and Agile classes at a hotel, and then leave, we live here and support the local Agile community.   We continue to sponsor regional Agile conferences and meetups. We have successfully run Agile, Certified ScrumMaster and Developer courses for multiple teams in the Great Lakes area.

Why Acceptance Test Driven Development training?

  • Does your software dev team seem to be building the wrong system for your business?
  • Are you getting conflicting messages on what to build from your management?
  • Is manual testing taking too much time and resources?
  • Are you struggling with automating your tests?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you and your team will benefit from Customer Tests. Join us and gain hands on experience with various automation tools.

What is Acceptance Test Driven Development?
Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD) is a process to create Customer Tests that connect the business with the software development team. These tests create a shared understanding of the software requirements and confirm that the team is building the right thing.

Many Agile transformations fail due to a separation between business needs and the development teams understanding.  ATDD allows product owners, business analysts, QA and developers to build the requirements together. It allows confirmation that the business is getting what they need and lets the developer know when they are done.

What you will learn:

  • You will look at what structural changes may be required and what technical practices and tools are commonly used to successfully automate acceptance testing.
  • New techniques such as how to properly create scenarios using the Gherkin language, how these scenarios can be automated to verify development, and how to apply these Customer Tests to your existing process.
  • Test coverage and the optimum split between automated and manual testing, between acceptance level testing and low-level micro-testing.
  • How to properly create tests and receive hands-on experience with testing tools, such as: ○ Selenium ○ Cucumber ○ Gherkin ○ Fitnesse ○ Heroku ○ Jenkins

In an ideal world your whole team will attend this two day workshop together. You will all learn how to save time while taking your working software to the next level.

Student Successes

  • The Certified ScrumMaster and Certified Scrum Developer courses that Michigan Technology Services set up for our organization were great. The instructors (Mark and Angela) were outstanding.

    - SF, Senior Software Developer – Hewlett Packard Enterprise

  • The instructors were top notch and made the courses exciting. I have taken Cisco CCNA, Linux and SQL admin classes and I find myself using the knowledge gained every day. If you value getting quality content that will be relevant for years to come, take these courses with Michigan Technology Services.

    - SP, Detroit Network Team Manager – Global Advertising Company

  • I have taken the Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster and Product Owner classes from Michigan Technology Services and thoroughly enjoyed the class content and instructors. I found the ScrumMaster class particularly engaging and energizing as the instructor was top notch. Both classes fueled my passion for agile project management and team dynamics which I have used to drive change in the way my department executes and thinks about running software development projects. I highly recommend Robert and his company.

    - Daniel King, Senior Project Manager – AAA Michigan – Auto Club Group

  • In February of 2015, the Detroit Housing Commission reached out to Michigan Technology Services to request Microsoft Office Excel training for the staff. Within a few days, Rob was able to set up the services at a very reasonable expense. The trainer was superb, knowledgeable and very patient with the students.  It was one of the best trainings that we have ever had.

    - De’Onna Henderson, Director of Asset Management – Detroit Housing Commission

  • We had an excellent experience working with Rob at Michigan Technology Services. He went above and beyond helping us to design three days of onsite customized SharePoint training for our associates. The trainer was beyond knowledgeable and instrumental in the success of the project. If customized training is what you are looking for, we are confident that you need not look any further than MTS for your business training needs.
