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.

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.
