Do you really though? Most cucumber features i see end up being 20 lines of run on sentences, or they end up looking like short rspec declarations. If you use a descriptive style "spec" testing framework, the output can be similar "A banana should always ...", "A banana when given to a customer should ..." which is just as readable. I have programming students who have difficulty at writing integration tests, much let alone their future customers. If a customer was to try to write a cucumber test for themselves you would surely have to modify it to make it work correctly right? This is the only argument i've heard for this style of natural language testing, and i've never heard it from a customer. I've never heard a contractors client come running in from the wings yelling "WE LOVE CUCUMBER, AND COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT!!". I would be interested to hear their point of view. Sorry to troll on cucumber, I think easier iOS testing and more iOS testing is only a good thing. I'm just personally not a fan of this style tests. Been there done that, now I write my tests in the same language that i'm coding in.
