Preliminaries

Admin

• I plan to do some transportation today at 2:30.
• I'll generally be around otherwise.
• Don't forget your weekly reports!
• Goal for next week: Cucumber Scenarios for your Projects
  • They don't need to work, but they need to be in a form that we can look at them together

Cucumber basics

• We need to bridge the informality of user storiees with the formality of code.
• In an ideal world, the user writes down a story and we can automatically check whether it succeeds!
• Cucumber is a compromise
  • We write user stories in a language the user can understand
  • We will write regular expressions to match parts of those stories
  • We will translate those regular expressions to code
