Working in BDD

Case Study:

Can anyone offer any advice/helpful resources for working in BDD, specifically in regard to implementing this approach via automation? My company is looking at using Cucumber for a new set of tests and I've not worked in BDD or with Cucumber before.

I have a sneaking suspicion my colleagues haven't thought much about the implication of BDD as a culture, rather hoping to add a cool new tool to the tests.

Recommendation 1:

Please only do this if you're going to do it right (product writes gherkin, the developer writes tests first, then code). If you just use cucumber to write/manage your test scripts, you're just having a lot of semantic overhead for not a lot of gain.
