A marginally less aggravating alternative to Cucumber. Note that this is very much a personal hobby project at the moment; you use it utterly at your own risk. After using Cucumber for a few months I got tired of problems with collisions in the vocabulary of step names. I know that a ubiquitous language is supposed to take care of such problems, but sometimes you’re not in a position to affect the language used on your project, and sometimes your project is so complex that semantic overloading becomes likely if not inevitable. So, if two steps are called the same thing but only do NEARLY the same thing, you can end up with lots of horrible shared state and context conditions. I still wanted to be able to run tests from feature files, which are a really great method of communication and a good artefact of specification, but I needed to get away from the shared step definition paradigm. Nukumber enables me to write a single, distinct method for each feature element (background/scenario/ scenario outline) while still requiring adherence to the feature file.
