CucumberEdit
Cucumber is an acceptance testing framework written in Ruby.
Features
- Pretty output
- Nice integration with Capybara
Criticisms
- Extremely complex implementation with an enormous dependency hierarchy
- Constantly changing API and implementation details mean that, historically, updates usually require additional maintenance to fix breakage
- High overhead required to maintain parallel plaintext "feature" files and supporting Ruby "step definition" files
- Feature file syntax (called "Gherkin") is marketed as "business readable", but this is of little value because it is neither "business writable", nor any more readable than a well-written Ruby DSL would be
Alternatives
- Steak is an extremely minimal acceptance testing framework for Rails applications built on top of RSpec
