I have never been sold on cucumber, it just seems like testing
mastrubation.<br>

Unit testing and some integration testing yes but much more than
that is it becomes and end to itself, testing for the sake of
writing tests.<br>

suspicious of cucumber in terms of adding an extra dependency

<div>Are any of you using this approach already? If so,
how are you finding it?</div>
