The Serenity Dojo BDD Accelerator Program

Bring The Power Of BDD To Your Teams

Click below to hear how cutting edge biotech company Select Sires used the BDD Accelerator program to unleash a massive increase in productivity and engagement in their teams and deliver customer value faster and more frequently.

Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) is the ultimate Shift-Left approach. Much more than just test automation, BDD is a highly collaborative development process that helps teams deliver higher quality features sooner.   

  • Discover a structured requirements discovery process that gives the whole team clarity on business needs, so you can spend your time on delivering value, not fixes and rework.
  • ​Reduce the number of defects in production so that you can shorten release cycles and deliver valuable features sooner.
  • ​Implement powerful test reporting and create living documentation of your project, to help you gain visibility into what business features are delivered, and how well they're tested
  • ​Create a collaborative environment with engaged and enthusiatic teams that people will be begging to join.

The BDD Accelerator is a tailored program that combines both structured training and coaching on your actual projects to teach your teams how to adopt BDD techniques and embrace continuous delivery of high quality software.

The program covers all four key phases of the BDD process, in the context of your own projects:

Illustrate
Learn how to run requirements discovery sessions quickly and effectively, to get a deep understanding of business needs and goals sooner rather than later, using BDD facilitation practices such as Example Mapping, Feature Mapping, and Impact Alignment Mapping.


Formulate

Turn your requirements into clear, business readable executable specifications that both document the business needs, and can be turned into automated acceptance tests that validate the application's behaviour.


Deliver

Learn how to write flexible, reusable and scalable automation code earlier and more effectively, in lockstep with production code, that helps both developers and testers save time and effort.

Validate

Deploy the test automation framework into your CI environment and produce automated living documentation and release evidence from your executable specifications.

How does it work?

The BDD Accelerator uses a unique approach to training that we've honed over the years:

  • Foundation Building: We kick off with a series of six 2-hour sessions, immersing your team in the fundamentals of BDD. These aren’t just lectures; they’re interactive, hands-on experiences that resonate with your team’s daily challenges.

  • Application to Real Projects: The last two sessions focus on your team’s actual user stories and requirements. This is where the magic happens, applying BDD concepts directly to your projects.

  • Tailored Mentoring: A 6-week cycle of intensive mentoring follows. Our experts work alongside your team, integrating BDD and test automation into their daily tasks. The goal? To see an immediate improvement in collaboration, software quality, and delivery efficiency.

By the end of the program, your teams will be able to:

  • Collaborate more effectively, to discuss and articulate requirements clearly and precisely with business analysts and product owners.

  • ​Write high quality executable specifications tailored to the needs and language of your business

    .

  • Build a robust and scalable automated acceptance test framework.

  • ​Deliver higher quality features with fewer defects and less rework.
