[Baypiggies] A talk on testing frameworks

[Glen Jarvis]

If I mentioned cucumber in my previous email, I apologize. I've been learning cucumber to do BDD development for rails. The equivalent for python is lettuce. I hadn't learned lettuce yet, but it should be just a port of cucumber -- although I can't say that with authority.

Cheers,


Glen
