    <p>Cucumber solves a particular set of problems - engaging business stakeholders who can't easily read code and certainly can't write it, and providing reuse between the steps in automated scenarios. The scenarios also usually cover more than one aspect of behaviour, documenting the functionality of the entire system and often covering whole user journeys across multiple components. The step-based architecture which Cucumber encourages is ideal for handling these scenarios.</p> <p>It also introduces a whole set of other problems. First, you need to tie the Cucumber scenarios to a set of fixtures, so there's another layer of abstraction which makes them slower to write. Second, English is harder to refactor than code - even with dynamic languages like Ruby (the difference is still more pronounced in the C# and Java variants like JBehave, SpecFlow, Cuke4Nuke and Cuke4Duke). It's harder to tell if steps are still being used, and harder to maintain the scenarios. It's also harder to manage state between the various steps.</p> <p>With unit tests, the audience is technical. Classes ideally have single responsibilities with little to no duplication, so the reuse of steps isn't important. When we want to change an element of code we tend to look for tests whose naming conventions match the files or classes, so a one-to-one mapping with these is ideal.</p> <p>Because of Cucumber's overheads, and because we don't get value from the benefits Cucumber provides in return for its overheads, RSpec is a better fit for behaviour at a unit level. (This is also true of JUnit, NUnit, etc.)</p> <p>If you're missing the "Given, When, Then" of Cucumber, try adding them as comments. This works well for me.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
