Agenda

● Introduction to Behat

● Behat Drupal Extension

● Behat Installation/Configuration

● Behat test execution from command line

● A real world example

● How to minimize regressing testing using Behat

What is Behat?

● Welcome to Behat! Behat is a tool that makes behavior

driven development(BDD) possible. With BDD, you write

human-readable stories that describe the behavior of your

application. These stories can then be auto-tested against

your application. And yes, it’s as cool as it sounds!

Drupal Extension

The Drupal Extension to Behat and Mink assists in the

performance of these common Drupal testing tasks:

● Set up test data with Drush or the Drupal API

● Define theme regions and test data appears within them

● Clear the cache, log out, and other useful steps

● Detect and discover steps provided by contributed

modules and themes

● Detail - https://www.drupal.org/project/drupalextension

Installation using Composer

1. Install Composer

2. Install the Drupal Extension in /opt/drupalextension

3. Create an alias to the behat binary in /usr/local/bin

4. Create your test folder
