Advanced BDD: Building a Domain Specific Language for Acceptance Test Data This presentation explores how modern teams can supercharge their testing strategy by evolving from simple step definitions to a powerful, expressive Domain specific Language (DSL) that makes acceptance tests clearer, faster, and far more maintainable. Attendees will discover how to combine the Page Object Model with a Logical Functional Model to create clean, scalable automation layers. The session then goes further, showing how to craft a Domain Specific Language that transforms test data into something readable, reusable, and genuinely collaborative across teams. And because great testing doesn’t stop at functionality, the talk also includes bonus insights into security and accessibility testing—two areas where BDD can shine when used creatively. Expect practical examples, sharp insights, and plenty of “aha” moments. This is advanced acceptance testing with real engineering behind it. If you want to level up your automation strategy and learn how to build test frameworks that feel like a joy to use, this is the session you don’t want to miss. Venue This meeting is at BrightHR in the Peninsula Building which is close to Victoria railway station & the AO Arena. There will be someone in the foyer who will sign you in and then tell you how to find the venue. This is a free event - there is no charge for a ticket or for the refreshments.
