Introduction Last month wrapped up my Cucumber posts for a while. I’ve covered the full gamut of topics for Cucumber, and I don’t believe I have too many more nuggets of knowledge to offer without putting myself out of a job. While working with Cucumber over the past year I’ve done a lot of research. […]

Kryptowire is a security testing tools designed specifically for testing Android and iOS native mobile applications. It provides a simple interface for analyzing source code developed locally […]
Introduction Part of optimizing your Scenarios within your Features is to ensure you have succinct, reusable test steps. This means making your test steps generic enough to encompass all inputs and variations, but also specific enough to only tie to the implementation you desire. A large part of being successful in this task is to […]

Introduction A large part of writing Cucumber Glue Code is ensuring you have the perfect regular expression for the Step Definition. So we’re taking a break from our usual direct Cucumber posts, and dedicating this post to the setup for next month’s post. Regular Expressions A regular expression, or regex for short, is a pattern […]
Introduction Before we dive into best practices and tricks in writing our glue code, we want to cover a few last tricks on keeping our Feature files clean. The first of which is how to utilize the Background feature to pull out common test steps. Background Often times when writing multiple scenarios within a singular […]
I am a big fan of static analysis and formatting tools. I just like my code to be as clean as possible. At the very least, being clean makes the code easier to read and maintain. If I can find a tool that will make it easy for me to keep my code clean, I’ll […]
