Cucumber Ain't Bad - You're Just Doing It Wrong by Attila Domokos
Recorded December 02, 2014 at ChicagoRuby Downtown
The cry from developers is unanimous: “I don’t like Cucumber. My acceptance tests are brittle and hard to maintain!” And in fact, they can be. This presentation will show you what tools and techniques you should use to write independent, stateless step definitions that can be weaved together to form a testing DSL.
