Reading Time: 3 minutes Further, in our series on Acceptance Test Driven Development, we would look at generating random test values with the ScalaCheck framework. In our last post we looked at, how we make our test logic respect the DRY principle by defining the values in a table. However, in many situations, you would like to generate the values dynamically so that we do not have to fill Continue Reading

We had also concluded that though acceptance tests could be written in the way described however, there was an issue. Writing the feature files with individual features having multiple scenarios which would Continue Reading
