I'm using Cucumber on my current project and it's causing me to wonder
what other people's experience has been. I've read discussions about
speeding up Cucumber and a basically everything else I can. Also, the
rSpec book is articulate on the subject. What I'm curious about is
whether a survey like this (in your opinions) would add useful
information:
Survey: How You Use Cucumber
Do you:
- Write failing steps first, then make them pass?
- Use mocks/stubs?
- Hit the database exactly as the application would or do you cache
intermediate results?
- Run:
- Single scenarios instead of a whole feature
- Individual features instead of single scenarios
- All features instead of individual scenarios
- Negative as well as positive scenarios
- Use the helpful snippets for pending steps
- Still use rSpec controller or view specs
- Write features, then refactor parts out into shared steps later
- Use the Textmate bundle
- Run Cucumber all the time when developing controllers/views
- Only run Cucumber for integration tests
- Use an imperative or declarative style to describe scenarios
- Ever include substitutable elements for readability that aren't used
(i.e., /"(.*)" looks at his watch/ do |user| # user not referenced in
step
I'm happy to put a survey out there on whatever survey site people
think is good once I have a good set of questions if there is interest
and then tabulate the results.
Good idea? Repetitive? Comments?
Thanks,
Steve
