In this hour and ten minute screencast, you’ll learn the basics of Cucumber. You’ll learn the syntax, organization, and philosophy of writing Features, Scenarios, and Steps. You’ll build an application and learn where unit tests are a better fit.

There is Such a Thing as Too Much Testing
I've worked at Object Mentor, ThoughtWorks, and Obtiva so I come from a test first background. However there are times and situations that call for less automated testing instead of more. Now that TDD and BDD have become near dogma in some circles, it's time to have an honest discussion about finding the appropriate level of testing for your team/project/code.

How TDD Missed the Point: Introducing EDD
Ruby's testing culture goes way back, and has been a force for making many Ruby projects a showcase for solid, maintainable code.

Setting up Devver on a non-Rails project
In order to show how easy it is to configure Devver for a project, we've made a short screencast to walk you through the steps. We've used DataMapper as an example application. As you can see, it only takes a few minutes to set up Devver and then the specs complete in a fraction of the time. In fact, the whole process - setup and Devver run - takes less time than running 'rake spec'.
How I Learned to Love Testing
A few months ago I really hated the idea of testing my code, I just didn't do it. Now I couldn't think of writing a line of code without the proper tests in place.
