[bind10-dev] Ask some questions for cucumber

[qiaojing]

I saw the discussion about cucumber being validated to be used in bind10 test.

After my investigation of this tool, some questions come up as follows:

* As I know, cucumber is a tool for BDD, and its obvious benefit is for design. 
   So I wonder what is the advantage of using it in bind10 as the codes are already there?
   Or just to use its automated test mechanism?

* If it is chosen, I think it will be a time-consuming work to write the features and steps 
   from scratch. Or if there is way to move the use cases from ready-made ones? And Where
   are they? 

* About the test code, it seems the step definition is like white-box test, it often directly
   calls the lib of source code. So I think the test programmer should be familiar with the 
   implementation very much. 

* As cucumber, ruby is the best language, and I see other languages might not be well-supported,
   such as python and shell. And whether it should be the same language used in implementation?  

* Is there a tester called 'dns cucumber'? Where shall I get it? And what is the three clone of cucumber
   you discussed?


Looking forward to your reply, and I will really appreciate it.

Jenny
