This document discusses Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) using the Ruby programming language along with Cucumber and RSpec testing frameworks. It explains how BDD works by first writing feature tests in Cucumber, then defining step implementations, and finally writing unit tests in RSpec. The document also covers test automation, continuous integration using tools like Guard and Jenkins, and provides additional resources for learning more about software testing.Writing Cucumber
Writing CucumberAbraham Heward

The document discusses readability and maintainability of Cucumber tests. It emphasizes writing scenarios in a readable, declarative style using Given/When/Then structure. Scenarios should describe the essential state changes and outcomes at a high level without implementation details. Later examples show refactoring a scenario to better follow these principles.Studio - United Nations II - New York, NY

The document proposes a redesign of the United Nations headquarters site in New York City. It suggests replacing the current buildings with a continuous, undulating surface that the public can walk across and permeate through. This would draw the public into the UN site and invert the current relationship where the UN buildings are privately nested away. The porous and varying dense surface would manage spaces for private UN proceedings and public congregation areas, inviting the world to interact directly with the UN in a new transparent and accessible manner.Cucumber And Bdd

The document discusses using Cucumber to improve communication with customers and users. It mentions that Cucumber provides a language to describe features in plain text which can then be compiled into code to automate testing and ensure acceptance criteria are met. It also notes that Cucumber supports over 28 languages to describe tests in a natural language familiar to both customers and developers.Cucumber Ru09 Web

Managing airport and airspace data is no small task, especially when youre expected to deliver it in AIXM format without spending a fortune on specialized tools. But what if there was a smarter, more affordable way?
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how Sweco partnered with Swedavia, the Swedish airport operator, to solve this challenge using FME and Esri.
Learn how they built automated workflows to manage periodic updates, merge airspace data, and support data extracts all while meeting strict government reporting requirements to the Civil Aviation Administration of Sweden.
Even better? Swedavia built custom services and applications that use the FME Flow REST API to trigger jobs and retrieve results streamlining tasks like securing the quality of new surveyor data, creating permdelta and baseline representations in the AIS schema, and generating AIXM extracts from their AIS data.
To conclude, FME expert Dean Hintz will walk through a GeoBorders reading workflow and highlight recent enhancements to FMEs AIXM (Aeronautical Information Exchange Model) processing and interpretation capabilities.

Finding a specific car online can be a time-consuming task, especially when checking multiple dealer websites. A few years ago, I faced this exact problem while searching for a particular vehicle in New Zealand. The local classified platform, Trade Me (similar to eBay), wasnt yielding any results, so I expanded my search to second-hand dealer sitesonly to realise that periodically checking each one was going to be tedious. Thats when I noticed something interesting: many of these websites used the same platform to manage their inventories. Recognising this, I reverse-engineered the platforms structure and built an FME workspace that automated the search process for me. By integrating API calls and setting up periodic checks, I received real-time email alerts when matching cars were listed. In this presentation, Ill walk through how I used FME to save hours of manual searching by creating a custom car-finding automation system.
