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
