Cucumber, especially for moving-fast-and-break-things startups, can be extra baggage. It's only needed where there is so much behavior and/or stakeholders to please that it would matter. Otherwise, it's probably as useful as repetitive, boilerplate comments that bloat LoC without adding value. But differentialy, if you want to go down the waterfall route, especially for safety / control systems, formal specs can be really, really useful (Z "Zed" for example). It looks like model descriptions for MVC, but it's closer to being readable formal proofs... so it's very useful for engineering / scientific projects. [0] IOW...
