Executable requirements with BDD and Cucumber
friday 13:10 - 14:00
Cucumber (http://cukes.info) is a fresh breathe in the young practice of Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD). While most other BDD tools tend to be geared towards developers and code, Cucumber's focus is communication between stakeholders and developers.
But don't get fooled! Cucumber is also an extremely powerful automated testing tool that works with
a variety of languages and other tools.
I will give you an intro to BDD and demonstrate both basic and more advanced features of Cucumber.
