Cucumber has turned 5 years old, and the ecosystem is now more active and mature than ever. With that in mind, Skills Matter present the first ever NYC version of CukeUp in DUMBO, Brooklyn
The 1-day conference covered all aspects of the Cucumber community in NYC and beyond. Talks and open sessions will help you understand how to write tests for non techies, hear success stories in the real-world, and explore Elixir. Not to mention a keynote from the creator of Cucumber himself, Aslak Hellesoy, on the roadmap for Cucumber in the months to come.
Excited? Share it!
Getting started with cucumber.js
Peter Bell
Peter Bell is CEO/CTO of Speak Geek, is a trainer for Github, is finishing up a book for Pearson and co-founded CTO school.
Elixir, Erlang, and Cucumberl
In this talk, we'll discuss:
- How Erlang's concurrency makes it easier to write robust programs
- Elixir's approachable syntax
- How to test Erlang and Elixir programs using Cucumberl
Attendees will walk away with a solid introduction to the principles of Erlang, and an appreciation of the way Elixir brings the joy of Ruby to the solidity of the Erlang runtime.
Testing Embedded Systems With Cucumber
Join Ian Dees in this session, as we cover the following topics.
- Connecting to an Arduino using a custom serial protocol
- Taking advantage of the TCP stack when it's available
- Building the Cucumber wire protocol into your device
- What to do when you can't modify the app under test
- Driving more fully-featured devices such as the BeagleBone or RaspberryPi
By the end of the presentation, you'll have a handle on what the various options are for testing embedded devices, and which tradeoffs will apply to your system
A Poet’s Guide to Acceptance Testing
This is not a matter of dumbing things down. There is a synergy between the expressiveness of tests and the maintainability. Achieving clarity in natural language is essential for their long-term viability.

Getting the Language Right
One of the most powerful things Cucumber can do for a software team is help them grow a ubiquitous language. But this depends on scenarios having the right level of detail at the right level of abstraction to be expressive to business people, testers, and developers alike.
Richard Lawrence
Richard is a Certified Scrum Coach and a partner at Agile For All, a consulting firm focused on making software organizations happier and more productive. He trains and coaches software teams and the people who work with them.
Keep your Cucumber sparkling clean
Cucumber gives us Scenarios and Step Definitions and leaves the rest up to us. Over time we have discovered that placing all of our code in Step Definitions tends to lead to brittle tests - especially in very large projects.
Jeff Morgan
Founder LeanDog, Agile Coach, XP Developer, and author of the book Cucumber and Cheese, a testers workshop.
Our success at Manheim
In this session we find out how Oscar adopted Cucumber, WebDriver, as well as automating everything he possibly could, to successfully reduced our regression from 160+ automation with QTP and 80+ hour manual to 7 minutes full regression.
Specification-by-Example: A Cucumber Implementation
We’ve all been there. You work incredibly hard to develop a feature and design tests based on written requirements. You build a detailed test plan that aligns the tests with the software and the documented business needs. When you put the tests to the software, it all falls apart because the requirements were updated without informing everyone.
But help is at hand. Enter business-driven development and Cucumber, a tool for running automated acceptance tests.
By fostering collaboration for implementing active requirements via a common language and format, Cucumber bridges the communication gap between business stakeholders and implementation teams. If you experience developers not coding to requirements, testers not getting requirements updates, or customers who feel out of the loop and don’t get what they ask for, be here!
