Agile 2009 - Aslak Hellesoy - Cucmber test framework

Posted by: Bob Payne on 02/10/2010

I met Aslak at the Agile 2009 conference for the first time.  In fact this is to date my one and only conversation with him.  I have used the Cucumber framework at a number of clients to facilitate automated regression testing at the story level.  His work builds on the work of several of my previous interviewees.

  • David Chelimsky
  • Dave Astels
  • Ward Cunningham
  • Bob Martin
  • Rick Mugridge

I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I enjoyed our conversation.
