Challenge
Get Started in the Lab Environment
Here are the initial instructions and explanation of the lab environment. Read this while your environment is busy creating itself from nothing. Yes, this violates physics; we know. How fun!
Challenge
Understand the Structure of a BDD Project
To start this lab, you'll look over the three components of an already-completed behavior-driven design (bdd) setup: the code, the feature, and the tests that connect the code to the feature.
Challenge
Understand the Pytest BDD Test File
You'll now examine the parts of the bdd test file, understand how they map to the code and to the feature, and execute the tests therein.
Challenge
Fix the Code and Getting from Red to Green
To finish up this lab, you'll find the problem the test is demonstrating, fix the problem, get all of your tests passing, and look at two super-simple reporting formats.
