About This Event

On 29 October 2026, John Staveley will present a workshop titled "Building a Domain Specific Language for Acceptance Tests" at Enablis in Leeds at 18:00. The session will focus on enhancing testing strategies through the development of a Domain Specific Language (DSL) for clearer and more maintainable acceptance tests. Attendees will learn about combining various models to improve automation layers.

LeedsSharp are proud to present John Staveley in "Advanced BDD: Building a Domain Specific Language for Acceptance Test Data" Abstract: ⭐ 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. Bio: John Staveley is a developer focusing on web development with 25 years experience, mostly in the .Net stack. He is an organiser at Leeds Sharp, Leeds Data Science and the national AIoT Hub and regular speaker on a variety subjects such as IoT, messaging and C# across the north of England.
