CukeUp isn’t just for geeks.
Product owners, testers and business analysts are fundamental to making BDD work, and our programme will reflect that.
The talks will explore the aspects of BDD and Specification by Example that interest you the most.
Discussion and Collaboration
Want to discuss the latest thinking in BDD and hear the roadmap of Cucumber? This two day conference and with a second day of non-technical workshops will give you the chance to put your questions to the creators of the tools you use day-to-day and discuss how you can bring what you've learnt throughout the conference back to your day job.
Day Two workshops
This year we're adding two, half day workshops focusing on the non-technical aspects of getting BDD right. The sessions will provide the perfect opportunity for you and your team to work through exercises with world renown software experts.

CukeUp isn't just for New Yorkers
CukeUp was founded in London and has been running since 2011. The London edition features talks and workshops from experts across BDD. Check out the London edition here
What happened last year?
At the first ever CukeUp! in New York, Aslak Hellesøy introduced Cucumber Pro, we had talks on Specification by Example, acceptance testing in the form of poetry, and so much more. We also played host to the likes of Richard Lawrence, Peter Bell, and Cucumber and BDD enthusiasts. Check out last year's event here.

Acceptance tests have become a common part of building software for an agile process. However, I've observed a trend of growing build times - with teams saying "Our build is 15 minutes... well, actually it's 45 minutes because our Cucumbers took so long, so we parallelized the cukes." One reason for this may be that teams treat their acceptance tests as "Write-Once": create for a new story, get them to pass, and leave them be. In this talk we'll explore the technical and social forces that cause an acceptance test suite to grow, and discuss some ways to refactor and improve these tests. We'll touch on hexagonal architecture, declarative vs. imperative style, and alternate Cucumber step implementations.

Distilling the Essence
Featuring George Dinwiddie
When creating our scenarios, we want to fully describe the desired functionality, but not over-describe it. We want our scenarios to do more than check for correct operation. We want to paint a picture of what’s intended that aids understanding by others (or even ourselves) in the future.
