Description:
Look at the idea of working outside-in and the importance of focusing on customer value. Introduce Cucumber a testing tool which allows writing plain text feature documentation which through Ruby steps is executed. Examine how to use it, why it is useful and how it compares with existing tests such as Rails integration tests. Look at how Cucumber fits into the testing workflow, how it compliments Behaviour Driven Development and give practical examples with Rail projects. Examine some of the common problems/questions developers have had trying to get to grips with Cucumber and outside-in testing.

Also must complement his excellent slide design. Graphics and color were really beautiful. Jealous!

nice talk with excellent slide animations :) even as someone who has used the storyrunner and later cucumber from the start there was still something to lean.
This was a brilliant talk. Very slick slides and a well-rehearsed routine with spot-on delivery. Good (and informative) content too!

IMHO the best talk on Friday. I learned a lot.
Coming from the perspective of someone who has used RSpec Story Runner (Cucumber antecedent), was more interested in technique than technology. To that extent, Joseph's talk was insightful. Particularly interested in the notion of "noise" language in the feature description.
