Behavior-Driven Development with

Cucumber

Write tests that anyone can understand. Bridge the gap between business and technical teams with executable specifications.

What is Cucumber?

A tool that supports Behavior-Driven Development

Bridging the Communication Gap

Cucumber is an open-source software testing tool that supports Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) for writing acceptance tests. It allows you to write test cases that anyone can understand, regardless of their technical knowledge.

Key Concepts:

Gherkin: A business-readable domain-specific language that lets you describe software behavior
Feature Files: Plain text files containing scenarios written in Gherkin syntax
Step Definitions: Code that connects Gherkin steps to programming language functions
Scenarios: Examples that illustrate a business rule, consisting of steps

Why Choose Cucumber?

Cucumber encourages collaboration between technical and non-technical team members. It serves as living documentation that is always up-to-date and executable, ensuring your software meets business requirements.

A Simple Cucumber Feature

Feature: User login
  As a registered user
  I want to log in to the application
  So that I can access my account

  Scenario: Successful login
    Given I am on the login page
    When I enter valid credentials
    And I click the login button
    Then I should be redirected to my dashboard
    And I should see a welcome message

  Scenario: Failed login
    Given I am on the login page
    When I enter invalid credentials
    And I click the login button
    Then I should see an error message
    And I should remain on the login page

This feature file describes the login functionality in a way that both technical and non-technical stakeholders can understand.
