Few tools have managed to bridge the developer-customer divide as well as Cucumber has. Cucumber is not a tool for testing applications. Cucumber is a philosophy for communicating requirements. This book brings that philosophy to life.
I devoured the Cucumber book on a train ride from Grenoble to Brussels a few days after watching Matt’s presentation “BDD As It’s Meant to Be Done.” These two resources helped me understand in just a few hours how to avoid dozens of common mistakes writing scenarios in the Cucumber style. It’s as though I received an injection of perhaps two years of experience writing scenarios poorly so that I didn’t have to go through it all myself. What a gift. I recommend this book to everyone working with Cucumber.
Teams can use Cucumber to get a better understanding of what software to build for their customers. In this book, Aslak and Matt do a brilliant job explaining how you get started with Cucumber with plenty of easy-to-follow examples.
To those of you wondering how to use Cucumber effectively, The Cucumber Book is the answer. Not content to write just a testing book, Aslak and Matt have packed it with practical insights on many aspects of software development. Studying this book will make you a better software developer.
