Poorly done BDD has made me detest bdd and all of the tools, especially when cucumber is used as a testing tool and not as a collaborative tool.

I would say most companies use cucumber as a testing tool and say they doing bdd. I would actually like to see a company doing true bdd I have not seen one.

Didn’t the founder post here and said something along the lines of hating bdd now?

Edit: oh I see cucumber was bought by smartbear and then they fired the last cofounder https://mattwynne.net/new-beginning
