**Title**: Bootstrapping a BDD framework\\
**Proposer**: [[2015:Raphael Meyer]]\\
**Type**: Experience Report\\
**Duration**: 15 mins\\
**Description**: \\
We all know from Kent Beck that the best way to learn a new language is to implement a test framework with TDD using the framework we're just implementing.\\
\\
When I wanted to learn some Go I decided to implement a so called wire server in Go for the cucumber BDD framework. The acceptance tests of the wire server are being implemented by using cucumber with the wire server itself.\\
\\
I will present how I started the BDD and TDD cycles and what was involved in bootstrapping the development. I will talk about the experiences I made and how my decisions influenced the BDD and TDD cycles for the better or the worse.\\
\\
There will also be a short introduction into the ecosystem of the project, including free hosted and public accessible continous integration etc.\\
