Features are hard to write and constantly break when the UI changes. Step definitions are annoying to create and a freaking nightmare to maintain. And Cucumber s uites take for-EVER to run\, because you have to wait for a web browser. \;\n \;\nExcept... [almost] none of that is actually true. \;\ n \;\nAfter years of making awful messes with Cucumber\, I finally fo und a way to use it that worked well\, and a project I couldn't have don e without it. I'd like to show you one way to use Cucumber that can be e legant\, powerful\, expressive\, and—believe it or not—fast. \;\n### Nick Urban \;\nA talk about refactoring\, tech debt\, and why beautif ul code is good business. \;\n \;\n# \;\n \;\nAfter present ations we'll have more socializing time. \;\n \;\n# Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer\, pizza &\; snacks this month! \;\n \;\n# \;\n \;\nARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in t he building lobby\, however\, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 29th floor\, enter the building's parking lot by goi ng down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick u p a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby\, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator b lock you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "\;freight ele vator."\; You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom\, and sayin g you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 29th floor\, you'll easil y find the bike parking. \;\n \;\n \;\nABOUT THE GROUP: The Por tland Ruby Brigade\, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb\, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland\, Oregon area.
