1. What is cucumber
Cucumber is a testing framework which supports behavior-driven development (BDD). BDD is principally an idea about how software development should be managed by both business interests and technical insight. Implementation of BDD starts with describing the test cases with English like sentences following up with the test case implementation. With this we will have implemented test cases plus detailed test documentation also, which can be really handy at enormous number of test cases.
Cucumber testing framework uses Gherkin DSL to define test cases. The language itself is designed to be non-technical and human readable which enables the whole development team to have insight into the test cases including business analysts and managers also.
Cucumber testing framework supports multiple programming languages. It is written in the Ruby programming language but it is also available for other platforms including Java, C#, Python. In the following blog post we will use Java in Eclipse for demonstration.
