Cucumber

Cucumber is an open-source Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) tool. It allows automation testers to write test scripts in plain, human-readable text using Gherkin syntax. This approach bridges the gap between technical and non-technical team members by making automation steps and reports easy to understand.

This tutorial is written specifically for beginners who are interested in learning how to build a BDD framework using tools like Cucumber. We’ll start from the basics of BDD and guide you through setting up a Cucumber framework with Selenium WebDriver.

If you're completely new to test automation, we recommend completing our Selenium with Java tutorial first before continuing with this Cucumber tutorial
