I love Cucumber, but I hate writing step definitions. They are ugly, awkward to write and very, very boring: Most step defintions merely create objects for a scenario to chew on.

Eventually we created Cucumber Factory so we would never have to write that sort of step definition again. Cucumber Factory takes this scenario line:

Given there is a movie with the title "Sunshine" and the year "2007"

And transforms it into this:

Movie.create(:title => "Sunshine", :year => "2007")

Cucumber Factory comes with many little helpers to deal with complex cases, while always looking awesome. It also plays nice with your Machinist or Factory Girl.
