Cuke Up your Javascript

05 April 2012

A video of Julien Biezemans, the creator of the Javascript port of Cucumber, talking about his year-long experience of working on the project. This is a slick thirty-minute presentation with plenty of code and examples of how to get up and running with cucumber-js.

This port seems most useful for people building full-stack Javascript applications; it wouldn’t make a lot of sense to use this where you could otherwise use the Ruby version.

A couple of Cucumber features have not yet been ported, like Scenario Outlines, and speaking with Julien after the talk it sounds like he would prefer not to add them.
