Like learning any other language, you'll have to learn new habits, new methods, and new tools.
Of course, I agree with that, I don't pretend to say shell it has less than any other tool at all. Only I'm asking if there is a similar way to test the code.

This I didn't know, I'll try to put in practice, I think it will help me a lot.

Many thanks for share your knowledge.

NAME
Test::BDD::Cucumber::Executor - Run through Feature and Harness objects VERSION
version 0.11 DESCRIPTION
The Executor runs through Features, matching up the Step Lines with Step Definitions, and reporting on progress through the passed-in harness. METHODS
steps add_steps The attributes "steps" is a hashref of arrayrefs, storing steps by their Verb. "add_steps()" takes step definitions of the item list form: ( [ Given => qr//, sub {} ], ), and populates "steps" with them. execute Execute accepts a feature object, a harness object, and an optional Test::BDD::Cucumber::TagSpec object and for each scenario in the feature which meets the tag requirements (or all of them, if you haven't specified one), runs "execute_scenario". execute_scenario Accepts a hashref of options, and executes each step in a scenario. Options: "feature" - A Test::BDD::Cucumber::Model::Feature object "feature_stash" - A hashref that should live the lifetime of feature execution "harness" - A Test::BDD::Cucumber::Harness subclass object "scenario" - A Test::BDD::Cucumber::Model::Scenario object "background_obj" - An optional Test::BDD::Cucumber::Model::Scenario object representing the Background "scenario_stash" - We'll create a new scenario stash unless you've posted one in. This is used exclusively for giving Background sections access to the same stash as the scenario they're running before. For each step, a Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepContext object is created, and passed to "dispatch()". Nothing is returned - everything is played back through the Harness interface. add_placeholders Accepts a text string and a hashref, and replaces " <placeholders" > with the values in the hashref, returning a string. dispatch Accepts a Test::BDD::Cucumber::StepContext object, and searches through the steps that have been added to the executor object, executing against the first matching one. You can also pass in a boolean 'short-circuit' flag if the Scenario's remaining steps should be skipped. skip_step Accepts a step-context, a result-type, and a textual reason, exercises the Harness's step start and step_done methods, and returns a skipped-test result.
