I might disagree with both those assertions.

Cucumber adds a layer of abstraction I think is unnecessary-- these tests are to be read by developers, many of whom will not be expert. Rspec is a nice alternative to xUnit-style assertions, and the standard among Ruby developers. That said, if in the future some context were to come along where Cucumber makes sense, this framework allows adding that level of ATDD easily. > Mink has the additional advantage that it abstracts away the Selenium > interface > so that Selenium can be replaced with some other browser simulator without > changing the tests; while that doing Selenium-specific things more > complicated, > it can yield huge speedups for test which don't require Javascript and so > Selenium can be replaced with some simple browser emulator. The point of the exercise is to test browsers, not browser emulators. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
