No Cucumbers where harmed in the making of this presentation. Just mildly shaken up
Scenario : Happy Railsconf attendees Given you have a vague idea what Cucumber is When Joseph completes his presentation Then you should understand the scaling choices And you should feel better prepared to face them
Cucumber Feature: Filling Cucumbers with • BDD framework rocket fuel • Plaintext Scenario: Rocket fuel Given I have trained monkeys • Promotes When I click the launch button communication Then the monkeys should not die Given /^I have trained monkeys$/ do @test_pilots << Monkeys.new end
Cucumber provides the venue Your code makes it slow Shame on you
What are Acceptance Tests? • Customer -facing • Cut through the whole stack • Examples of how the system is intended to be used
You made me Cuke

Slow testing problems Running all the Cukes takes too long! Development is slowed down by the time to run focused Cukes
Types of Feedback + Speed Development - Confidence Speed Test Build - Confidence +
Happiness is a 10 min build time
Slow builds are the enemy of continuous integration
D evelopment F eedback Its too slow to run the cukes. Just push the code and run away
