Testing and planning development just got a lot easier with the Cucumber testing framework. Here's the outline of my talk, written using Cucumber: Feature: Intro to Cucumber As a Cucumber user I want to introduce Cucumber to others at TCCC7 So that I can show them how easy it is to write plain-text stories to drive development and test their apps using a real web browser. Scenario: Explaining the basics of Cucumber Given you make web applications And you come to my talk Then I will show you how Cucumber works And I will explain its basic concepts Then I will write a story to test a web site And I will then write custom matchers to run the story When I run the story Then I should see my browser open And the browser will navigate to the site And it will fill in the forms And it will click the buttons When I am finished Then you will be able to go home and do this yourself.
