One of the keys to a great website is that it works for all stakeholders will little or no training. Is content management intuitive?  Is the site accessible? Do you need to train people on how to maintain the site?  All of these questions should be answered before the site goes live. In this session, we will deliver a checklist for you to follow before you go into User Acceptance Testing to ensure that you get exactly what you expected from your web development team or web development vendor.

Behavior Driven Development in Drupal 8 with Behat

Adding test coverage to your website and applications provides lots of benefits. For example, making sure requirements are met and preventing regressions from happening. One of the many approaches for testing is Behavior Driven Development (BDD). This can be accomplished in Drupal 8 using a series of tools: Selenium, Behat, Mink, and Drupal Extension.

The real revelation wasn't that I could debug PHP code, but that I could think about solving the mystery of why something wasn't working in a new way.
