Cucumber
What is Cucumber?
Cucumber is an open-source automated testing tool that supports Behavior-Driven Development (BDD). It allows the definition of application behavior in plain, human-readable language using the Gherkin syntax. Cucumber enables collaboration between developers, testers, and non-technical stakeholders by making test scenarios easy to understand and validate.
Test automation with Cucumber is used to write and execute automated acceptance tests. It helps ensure that software behaves as intended by validating user stories and business rules. Teams use Cucumber to drive development through examples, promoting shared understanding across roles.
Common use cases:
Acceptance testing and functional testing for web or mobile applications.
Test automating user story validation in Agile and BDD workflows.
Enhancing collaboration between developers, testers, and business analysts.
