Cucumber is a tool for behavior-driven development (BDD). It allows you to write test cases in plain English, making them more readable and understandable. This page provides an overview of the various tools available for Cucumber.

Features

  • Writing Tests in Plain English: Cucumber allows you to write tests in a human-readable language, making them more accessible to non-technical team members.
  • Integration with Continuous Integration Tools: Cucumber can be easily integrated with popular CI tools like Jenkins, Travis CI, and CircleCI.
  • Cross-Platform Support: Cucumber supports multiple programming languages and platforms, including Java, Ruby, and Python.

Getting Started

To get started with Cucumber, you'll need to install the Cucumber gem in your project. You can do this by running the following command:

gem install cucumber

Once installed, you can create a new feature file using the following command:

cucumber g generate features

This will create a new directory called features in your project, where you can write your feature files.

Example Feature File

Here's an example of a feature file written in Gherkin, the language used by Cucumber:

Feature: Login functionality

  In order to access protected resources
  As a user
  I want to be able to log in to the application

  Scenario: Successful login
    Given I am on the login page
    When I enter a valid username and password
    Then I should be redirected to the dashboard page
