What Hacker News says?
Poorly done BDD has made me detest bdd and all of the tools, especially when cucumber is used as a testing tool and not as a collaborative tool. I would say most companies use cucumber as a testing tool and say they doing bdd. I would actually like to see a company doing true bdd I have not seen one. Didn’t the founder post here and said something along the lines of hating bdd now? Edit: oh I see cucumber was bought…
