		<description><![CDATA[Testing your tests is kind of crazy. However when writing a library of Cucumber step definitions which will be used in many projects it started to make sense to test my tests.

The step definitions are the code.
It helps reduce fear of breaking lots of projects which use the steps.
The tests/specs show examples of how to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Combinatorial testing is a difficult problem. Having to test a small number of inputs  can result in a combinatorial explosion of possible permutations. In Cucumber we see this problem in Scenario Outlines where we can have a large number of rows for the Examples table.
We want to reduce the combinations to a more manageable size [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[FutureRuby was an exceptional conference and I was excited to be a part of such a creative group of people. I talked about Cucumber, looking at what it is, how to use it, and why to use it. Useful links for Cucumber:

		<description><![CDATA[I recently wrote an article for &#8216;The European Software Tester&#8217; magazine which looked at ways Cucumber, Acceptance tests in general and practices around Behaviour Driven Development can help avoid the gap between what the customer wants and what they get.
