Upcoming Events

Paul will be presenting a workshop on "ATDD/BDD with Cucumber" at UberConf in Denver on May 14-17, 2010.

Introduction to Cucumber for Acceptance Test Driven Design

Acceptance Test-Driven Design (ATDD) employs the approach of specification by example. Instead of talking in abstract terms about what the system will do, the team collaborates to create specific examples that specify what the system should do from the user's perspective. Cucumber is such an amazing ATDD tool because it's so good at mapping stories and acceptance criteria to automated functional tests. Product Owners and BA's write acceptance criteria in natural language. Developers and testers unobtrusively automate tests for them. Anyone on the team can run the tests and see the current state of the system. ATDD is also known as Storytesting or Behavior-Driven Development (BDD).

Our next public training course in Denver will be in August.

This hands-on 2-day workshop designed to get you productive with Cucumber for ATDD in the shortest time possible.
