The Secret Ninja Cucumber Scrolls

by David de Florinier, Gojko Adzic, Annette de Florinier

Cucumber is a functional test automation tool for lean and agile teams. It supports behaviour-driven development, specification by example and agile acceptance testing. You can use it to automate functional validation in a form that is easily readable and understandable to business users, developers and testers. This helps teams create executable specifications, that are also a goal for development, acceptance criteria and functional regression checks for future changes. In this way, Cucumber allows teams to create living documentation, a single authoritative source of information on system functionality that is always up-to-date.

Good and quick introduction not only to cucumber but also to BDD and acceptance testing.

An interesting start to Cucumber and Gherkin, just enough to make you seek out more info about BDD.
