Acknowledgments

I thank everyone who contributed to this book, especially the people at Manning: publisher Marjan Bace and everyone on the editorial and production teams, including Alessandro Campeis, Alain Couniot, Bert Bates, Dan Maharry, Marina Michaels, Mike Stephens, Janet Vail, Tiffany Taylor, Katie Tennant, Dottie Marsico, and Jonathan Thoms. Having some confidence in the topic I wanted to write about, I thought I was the one who was here to teach; but, rightfully, it was I who ended up being schooled. I learned so much from you—all while you were working hard to move the process along as swiftly as possible.

Thanks go to the amazing group of technical peer reviewers led by Aleksandar Dragosavljevic: Ivo Alexandre, Costa Alves Angelico, James Anaipakos, Dane Balia, Keith Donaldson, Ruben Gamboa, Aurélien Gounot, Burk Hufnagel, Edgar R. Knapp, Unnikrishnan Kumar, David Madouros, Russell Martin, Markus Matzker, Nasir Naeem, David Osborne, Mike Reidy, and Craig Smith.

My thanks to Gojko Adžić, who wrote the foreword and introduced me to Manning.

I want to thank the great people at Monterail who worked with me from 2013 to 2015 and contributed to many of the ideas you’ll read here. They helped me see SBE and Gherkin from every angle: development, testing, and product design.
