As the second in our intro-level series of talks, TJ Stankus will present an Introduction to Cucumber. At our last meetup we had a great presentation and discussion about BDD and RSpec. Of course, Cucumber came up, so we'll take a little closer look at that tool. Here's how http://cukes.info describes Cucumber:

Cucumber lets software development teams describe how software should behave in plain text. The text is written in a business-readable domain-specific language and serves as documentation, automated tests and development-aid - all rolled into one format.

We'll touch on using Cucumber with a plain old Ruby app and with a Rails app. We most likely will not touch on advanced aspects of Cucumber (using it with Selenium, etc.). After the presentation we'll have some time for hacking and/or discussion.

As usual, bring beer if you'd like. Hope to see you there!

    Story-Driven Development with CucumberSoftware projects struggle to be on-spec, on-time and on-budget, and a major cause is miscommunication. As Martin Fowler says, there is a "yawning crevasse of doom" between "suits" and developers, full of misunderstanding. How can we make sure that there is mutual understanding, and that the software actually meets the needs of the problem while improving the business bottom line?
