Automated testing has a lot of benefits: it reduces maintenance costs, increases software quality and prevents regressions.In the long run having a test suite saves time and money for any project. However in practice most small to medium size client projects are delivered without any tests. Why? Because in the past tests have the reputation to be very expensive and difficult to write. Luckily with Behat this is no longer the case: tests can be written in plain English in a few minutes.

This presentation shows how you can use Behat and continuous integration to provide cheap and effective testing for any project.
