" summary

Outside in BDD drives the design by writing high level examples first then implementing inward, using cucumber feature files mapped to executable steps, driving browsers via capybara and sometimes selenium or headless htmlunit. The side project cobat (co‑working accounting) grows from an expected 4 week toy to eight months of real service, and the cucumber suite survives full codebase swaps, giving a working safety net that catches integration breaks beyond unit tests.
