Cucumber Features
Cucumber Features
Cucumber is an open-source testing framework that supports Behavior-Driven Development (BDD). It allows developers, testers, and business stakeholders to collaborate by defining application behavior in simple, plain-text English (or other natural languages) using a format called
Gherkin.
Features of Cucumber
Some of the features of Cucumber are as follows:
- Readable Syntax (Gherkin): Enables non-technical stakeholders to understand and contribute to tests.
- Automation Testing: Maps human-readable test cases to automated test scripts.
- Supports Multiple Languages: Works with Java, Python, Ruby, and more.
- Cross-Platform: Integrates into diverse testing environments and CI/CD pipelines.
- Collaboration: Bridges the gap between developers, testers, and business analysts.
Example Scenario
This is an example of a Gherkin scenario:
Feature: Login functionality As a user, I want to log in to the application So that I can access my account Scenario: Successful login Given the user is on the login page When the user enters valid credentials Then the user should be redirected to the dashboard
Cucumber reads this scenario and executes the associated test code written in your preferred programming language.
