Last night, I gave a presentation at the Greater Boston Selenium User Group. The title of my presentation was “def test = new BDDMadeEasy(Selenium,EasyB,Groovy)“.

It was fun . Enjoyed interacting with fellow Selenium enthusiasts. Excellent questions.  Hopefully got some people excited to give BDD a try.

You can view the slides at slideshare.

And you can also download the sample code that I wrote\showed along with my presentation from here.

And some links to reading material on BDD\Selenium.

If you attended the meeting , and have more specific questions- please leave a comment or you can find many ways to contact me via my website or leave a message and I will email you back.

And oh yes-  Thanks Ashish, glad you found it useful .

Completed Competent communicator manual at Toastmasters !
