  “ Very accessible approach; truly an introduction. I appreciate that there are a lot of extant blog posts to help me learn more about the subject. ”
- Bennett Berke
  
  “ It was interesting, but I expected a better explanation of behavior driven development from a specification point of view. ”
- Rick Martin
  
  “ I guess I should have that the title "An Introduction..." more literally. I was hoping for a deeper dive. The presentation was good, just not what I was hoping for. ”
- Adrien Lamothe
  
  “ Good topic. JJ covered a number of important issues. Lots of good "nuggets" of information. ”
- Bala Paranj
  
  “ I expected more practical examples and code. The speaker was reciting definitions of terms from the slides. He spent time on his opinions about testing and why to do testing. It would have been more interesting if "how" to use Cucumber was covered with demos. ”
