6. Page flow Page flow is a widely used pattern in web testing which describes how we should use our page objects to write more readable and well designed code. What page flow telling us, is that in our test code every Page Object method which navigates from one page to another should return a […]
4. TestRunner and Test steps To run features we need a Java class to start the test run. Here is a simple example: The TestRunner class needs to be annotated with @RunWith(Cucumber.class) and a body of it can be totally empty. By annotating the class with @CucumberOptions we can specify extra options to our test […]
3. Cucumber features “Feature” in cucumber is supposed to describe a single feature which is analog with “test group”/”test class” in standard Java world. A feature includes one or more scenarios. A scenario can be represented as a “test case” or a ”test method“ in standard Java world. The code of a cucumber feature need […]
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 […]
The Gherkin language provide us with lot of ambiguous commands that help us write steps faster and code less. Beside the default steps you can always add your own steps and write background code for additional re-usability and handling. More about this on later blog following the Behat BDD development. To list out the default […]
Continuing on my previous post about setting up a Behat test environment on Windows 10 now we will create some tests to see how the setup is working. These are some basic tests, as we are learning together.For running test we need to create a “behat.yml” file which Behat use as configuration file by default. […]
If you have decided to test with Behat and work on Windows OS, you will require some workaround as the official documentation is providing instructions for Unix/Mac installation only. Maybe these instructions will be helpful to you. INSTALL PHP WITH XAMPP (or WAMP respectively – here i will use XAMP) Download the XAMPP from the […]
Hello dear Reader, If you are interested learning a popular PHP test automation tool and working with it on windows, than this blog might help you out. In recent blog of mine about Behavior driven Development (BDD). I decided to make a series of Behat which is a BDD framework written in PHP language, which […]
BDD is a software development process evolved from TDD and we can say it is an extension of TDD. It uses domain-specific language (DSL) that we call natural or ubiquitous language to illustrate behaviors (how users will interact with the product or what are the expectations of business objectives with the product).
