What is Gherkin or Cucumber testing

Cucumber is a popular open-source testing framework that brings Gherkin scenarios to life. It allows you to automate tests by mapping Gherkin's steps to executable code. This way, you can validate that your software behaves as intended.

  1. What is Gherkin or Cucumber testing? What is Cucumber testing? Cucumber is an open-source testing tool that works in line with Behavior Driven Development (BDD) testing. The platform of cucumber testing uses the cucumber tool so that test cases can be defined, automated and executed in a human-readable format. The Gherkin syntax is used as a natural language format to write test scenarios.

  2. Gherkin language is simple and easy to use that uses keywords such as When, Given and Then to describe the test case steps. These scenarios are typically written by product owners or business analysts so that a better understanding of what is being tested should be known. Once the scenarios are written, developers translate them into code using automation frameworks such as Appium or Selenium. The execution of code is done so that tests are run and results are produced. Some of the key benefits of Cucumber testing are improved test coverage, easier test case maintenance and increased collaboration between business stakeholders and developers. The strategic importance of the Cucumber framework: 1. Code reusability: Code reuse is provided by the cucumber framework. The Given-When-Then scenarios are generated and the test case execution is handled appropriately. The technical barriers to entry are reduced by its easy-to-use interface. More straightforward maintenance, increased productivity and reduced development time are all the positive outcomes of this. 2. Business requirements are translated into testable scenarios: Once the business needs are translated into concise, clear sentences, then the files of test scenarios can be gone through and thus see the needs of product owners. This will, in turn, help in making enhancements and modifications. The scenarios can be taken by business analysts and then turned into testable requirements. 3. Requirements are expressed in a human-readable form: The interaction of business features is tested by Gherkin syntax. This, in turn, helps to drive the product, such as the scope of a web page or an app. As Gherkin syntax can be easily comprehended, the coding syntax need not be worried about and thus, the requirements need to be translated into concise, clear sentences.
