In 2021, manually performing repetitive tasks like running tests, compiling assets and deploying software to production are a serious waste of developer time and is often even considered scary and annoying. Maybe because it comes with a high chance of breaking things? Either way, time to automate those pesky tasks away!

Using Gitlab, in this workshop we'll setup a CI Pipeline from scratch to have the tests run, assets compiled, our software nicely packaged and deployed. The only thing missing is you - and your decision whether or not you dare to automatically activate your new release!

Behaviour-Driven Development is a set of techniques that use example-driven conversations to define how an application should behave.

In this workshop we will see how business specifications can be discovered through techniques like Example Mapping, captured as Gherkin features, then automated alongside development using Behat.
