There are a number of conversations going on within the community on how best to improve functional/validation testing of Drupal sites. It is likely that D8 will see improvements in this area, and a number of contrib modules / extensions either have or are being developed to make Behat and other such tools easily available for Drupal.

I work for a certain large organisation who are investing heavily in this area so I'm really interested to establish where, as a community, we are facing the same challenges, investigating the same solutions and what the eventual end-end toolchain may look like.

This BoF is:

A session for individuals or organisations already using, or interesting in using Behat (and the related tools) to talk about the underlying business requirements, identify trends and meta-requirements we all share and hopefully then identify opportunities for further collaboration.

This BoF isn't:

A session going into the fine detail from a developer standpoint. (Well, that's the plan, we'll see who turns up!)
