Behat is a tool for creating automated tests and assertions that business expectations are met continuously.

But behat can also be used to simplify the development of complex user interactions. Have you ever filled in plenty of required fields on your node just to test or debug the form submission? No more! With the very easy setup presented here you can automate everything up to the point you want to debug and then take over the browser session from there.

And at the end as an added bonus you now also have an automated test that can help you make sure the functionality remains intact in the future. As a developer you will want to write tests because it makes you more efficient even if nobody else in your project cares for it.

In this session you will get to see some of the behat tricks we use at Nuvole.
