This week on the Cucumber Podcast, Sal Freudenberg and Matt Wynne speak to Rebecca Wirfs-Brock. Rebecca is probably best known as an author of Designing Object-Oriented Software (1990) and Object Design (2002). For the past couple of months, Rebecca has jumped on the Cucumber Pro mob (read mob programming) to watch the team, notice heuristics, and contribute. The conversation follows that journey and how other teams can notice heuristics and ultimately deliver higher-quality software.

Voici une édition spéciale du podcast Cucumber. En français, s’il vous plaît! Julien Biezemans, co-fondateur de Cucumber Ltd, discute BDD avec Bruno Boucard.

This month on the Cucumber podcast, Aslak Hellesøy and Steve Tooke speak to Kenny Baas and Bruno Boucard about the relationship between Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD). While both share many similarities, there isn't a great deal of crossover between the two communities. Our two guests want to change that by demonstrating that both practices and communities have more in common than they may think.

Hiya! This month on the Cucumber Podcast we speak to Ron Jeffries and Chet Hendrickson. They are probably best known for their association with the Agile Manifesto - Ron, one of the authors, Chet the first signatory. They've both done some other stuff too. This is a wide-ranging conversation hosted by Matt Wynne with fellow Cucumber people Sal Freudenberg, Steve Tooke and Aslak Hellesøy.

This month on the Cucumber Podcast we speak to Beth Skurrie, who is the maintainer of the open-source project, Pact. Pact falls into the category of contract testing and with the advent of microservices and continuous delivery, it's getting more and more important. Seb Rose takes the hosting duties with extra questions from Steve Tooke.

This month on the Cucumber Podcast, we speak about The Screenplay Pattern. As John Ferguson describes it on his site, "the Screenplay Pattern is a powerful and elegant approach to designing and implementing automated tests, providing a number of improvements over more traditional approaches such as the Page Objects model."

The conversation covers why you should consider following the Screenplay Pattern and its potential drawbacks. The conversation closes with our guests providing a single tip for folks looking to try out the Screenplay Pattern on their own. Joining your host Aslak Hellesøy are John Smart, Jan Molak, Angie Jones, Nat Pryce, Matt Wynne and Steve Tooke.

The history of testers and developers working together is a bumpy road. Throughout the evolution of software development, testers have struggled to be treated as equals and developers have lacked the understanding of why they should care. Yet some teams do it well - both roles have a good experience and the resulting software benefits from the different perspectives. In this podcast, Franziska and Maaret speak to Matt Wynne to share some tips on how to improve this in your team.

On the podcast this month we discuss sexual harassment in tech. It's a subject that's been broadly covered in the news and we wanted to explore the experiences of women in tech and practical things we can all do to combat sexual harassment in our own communities. Your host Matt Wynne is joined by Sal Freudenberg, Arti Mathanda, Liz Keogh and Melissa Perri.

A bit of festive magic for you. We have invited Marcin Floyran and Sebastian Lambla back onto the podcast to discuss VeST (Vertical Slice Technologies). They were last on the podcast about two years ago to talk about Agile Anarchy and we asked them back to talk about VeST. So here it is. Aslak is asking the questions. This is a great listen for those who are interested in building customer-centric, high-quality software products.

On the podcast this month, Matt Wynne speaks to Angie Jones. We first heard about Angie through her posts about BDD, Test Automation and Cucumber on her website. Her blog is a treat, filled with lots of practical advice for modern software teams. Angie now works for Twitter as an Automation Engineer and is a frequent conference speaker.
