A premium online training program covering advanced test automation with Serenity BDD as well as more general training about BDD requirements discovery practices, the Serenity Dojo online training programme is not your typical online course. It combines training videos, tutorials, exercises, and a great online community where you can interact with other students and Serenity experts.
More and more teams are using Serenity BDD to fast-track their test automation efforts and to get the benefits of a reliable, high quality, and highly maintainable automated test suite sooner.
But teams adopting modern automated testing practices often face challenges to bring team members up to speed. We often get questions like:
The Serenity BDD mentoring packages provide a cost-effective answer to these problems, and covers both Serenity BDD and Serenity/JS. Training is delivered by core contributors, including the authors of both libraries.
“John’s mentoring was invaluable in getting our tests working. With John’s help, our tester is writing Serenity tests twice as fast, and the quality is significantly higher!”

Our team mentoring packages are great when you have a larger team with several testers who could benefit from Serenity support, and you want to combine mentoring with access to online training resources.
Our team mentoring packages ensure that you get the most out of your Serenity BDD test automation suite, whether you are already a test automation veteran or you are entirely new to test automation in Java.
Each mentoring package includes:
Above all, this program gives you a privileged access to the most authoritative source of information about Serenity BDD - the framework authors themselves, John Ferguson Smart and Jan Molak.
Each mentoring package lasts 3 months and can mentor a group of up to 12 people.
After 3 to 6 months of mentoring, even developers and testers with little experience in Serenity have shown improvements in productivity of 100% or more.
Each team is different, and mentoring sessions are scheduled on a rythme that suits your team. Mentoring packages can be consumed as quickly or as slowly as you need.
When you need guaranteed access to bug fixes and prompt, expert help, you need our professional support.
We have support packages that can suit your needs no matter what size your team or organisation. This ranges from per-incident support, great if you have an urgent bug fix that needs attention right now, to larger scale Enterprise support designed to meet the needs of larger teams and organisations.
Some of our most popular models are listed below:
If you need us to take a look at a defect quickly, a good place to start is our Per-Incident support. This includes analysing your issue to determine if it is a utilisation error or an actual bug. In the case of bugs, while we cannot guarantee that bug fixes will be covered bu the incident fee, we will do our best to provide a workaround. Many minor bugs are fixed in the scope of Per-Incident support.
The cost of per-incident support is $350 per incident.
Time-based support is a good option for more complex bug fixes or feature requests. Time-based support covers analysing and resolving bugs or feature requests. Analysing a problem typically takes an hour. Small issues can be typically fixed within an additional 1-2 hours. We will provide a rough estimate of the effort required when you submit your issue.
The cost of time-based support is $40 per 15 minute slice.
We also offer cost-effective yearly support models for organisations or all sizes:

Larger teams generally need a more scaleable support model with more budgeting visibility.
Our Enterprise clients typically opt for a combination of one-on-one mentoring and ticketed support for prioritised bug fixes or feature requests. One-on-one mentoring sessions involve working remotely together on your code base, to resolve issues or review test code quickly and efficiently. We find this is one of the most effective ways to build and maintain a high quality test automation code base.
Our Enterprise support packages are designed to support large teams with diverse needs. Monthly and yearly pricing options give you the flexibility and the visibility you need in a corporate environment. Each month, we will let you know your actual consumption. If we find that your usage is significantly lower or higher than your current package, we will review your needs together to determine the most appropriate package.
All our packages include:
Allocated time not consumed in a month is automatically rolled over to the following month.
Our Enterprise Team Support packages are tailored to the size and needs of your team. Please contact us to learn more.
