Behavior-Driven Development is not just a buzz word in Kansas City. Come hear about how this technique has been applied in real-life applications right here in the KC area.
Writing JUnit tests may be part of your everyday life already, but find out how using a more descriptive language and an open-source tool like Cucumber can enhance the quality and maintainability of your Java applications.
