Java (BDD Testing)

What is Cucumber

Cucumber is a software tool, and it supports BDD(behavior-driven development).

Cucumber BDD tool is very popular in testing industry, mainly because of the
writing test cases in (High Level)plain ordinary language called Gherkin. It's like
writing test cases in “english language”

It uses the framework annotations to understand software behaviors to be

specified in a logical language which is intelligible to the users.(Specially from
non-coding background)
BDD Approach

“The behavior-driven development” (BDD) is:

an Agile software development process
which inspires a joint effort among developers, QA and non-technical or
business participants in the project.

Framework approach in automation. A framework for test automation, consist of

different modules and libraries.

They simply use the object-oriented approach, to provide us with an integrated

system or environment, where we can write our test case for the specific product.

When I type login = "a" and password = "a"

And I click sign-in button

Then I should get "SIGN-OFF" link

Create a file with extension feature - “search.feature”

When I type login = "<seachWords>"
And I click on google search button

Goto run as >> run search.feature file

A step definition is java file responsible for actually working on the feature file. It
can be a Regular Expression or a Cucumber Expression.

The examples in this section use Cucumber Expressions.
