A good tutorial on cucumbers, independent of the rails

Question

I am looking for a good cucumber tutorial that doesn't make me use rails. Any good suggestion?

Answer 1

New Book - The Cucumber Book provides an excellent introduction to Cucumber and continues where the RSpec book stopped. This new resource provides examples for testing applications without rails, both simple programs, and demonstrates how to do BDD in command-line applications.

All in all, this is a great resource and gives you a quick start guide and then dives into the details.

Another resource, others have claimed, is the Cucumber link. Well worth a look at the lessons.

Answer 2

I believe the Rspec Book launches you in a context other than Rails.

Answer 3

You viewed the list on the Cucumber Wiki:

https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/wiki/tutorials-and-related-blog-posts

There are many textbooks here :-)

Answer 4

Cukes4Ninja has switched over - they have a simple tutorial that covers rails, .NET and Java. It can provide what you are looking for.

Answer 5

Look at this cucumber-watir project

You can search more open source projects in github or google search

Answer 6

My previous two projects were not Rails (or Ruby, for that matter), and we used Cucumber for both.

They are both web projects, and we were very inspired by these two designs . I can not offer you a sample, because these are internal projects, but they work very well for us.

Another team successfully used Cucumber to test an internal packet service sending emails.

Best for me was cuke4ninja, http://cuke4ninja.com , which I found very detailed and aimed at getting you started quickly. Therefore, I suggest doing this in the following order, which worked for me:

• Website: Cuke4Ninja http://cuke4ninja.com
• Book: Matt Wynn's Cucumber Book, Programmer-Programmer
• Book: Rspec Book "David of Chelim"
