Learn Cucumber: Develop automated test in Java following BDD

Learn how Cucumber enables behavior driven development to write test scenarios and use cases for a web application, contrasting it with test driven development.

Learn Cucumber basics for Java by writing features in plain English using Gherkin, crafting scenarios with Given/When/Then, and implementing steps in step files with Maven.

Create a cucumber feature file for a shopping basket in a java project, with given/when/then steps and selenium integration, and set up the eclipse workspace.

Learn how to create the initial cucumber step file for a shopping feature in Java, wire feature files to step definitions, and import cucumber and JUnit libraries for BDD testing.

Learn to run cucumber feature files with TestNG in a Java project, configuring suites, runners, and plugin reports to execute features and generate cucumber reports.

Explore cucumber's feature files for defining multiple scenarios in java with BDD, using given/when/then and regular expressions to create reusable step definitions and test flows.

Learn parameterization in Cucumber step files to create flexible steps using regex and pattern, enabling scenarios like opening different browsers and handling actions without duplicating steps.

Use tagging to mark Cucumber feature files and run only the features with specific tags, such as smoke or sanity, enabling targeted test execution across multiple features.

Learn to add multiple feature files for Cucumber-based login tests in Java using BDD; define given/when/then steps, organize features in packages, and execute three scenarios across the features.

Learn the Cucumber examples concept to run a scenario multiple times with different parameter values using an examples table and variable placeholders in a feature file.

Learn how to use data table in Cucumber to drive tests in Java, converting a data table into a list of maps and extracting values for each scenario.

Explore the Cucumber background feature, which runs setup steps before each scenario, such as launching the Chrome browser and preparing test context.

Learn to generate cucumber test reports using the formats plugin, run tests with JUnit, explore the target report index, and compare console output with structured cucumber reports for easier analysis.

Learn to build a Cucumber project with Ant by configuring the build file and setting the feature file location and package. Run tests from the command line to generate reports.

Learn to run ant scripts to build, clean, and execute a cucumber-based java project, compile class files, and generate browser-based test reports.

Apply before and after hooks to run setup and teardown around scenarios, and distinguish the feature-level background from global hooks that execute across multiple scenarios.

Learn to run cucumber with maven by managing jar dependencies via a maven repository, downloading required jars, configuring the maven compiler plugin, and executing cucumber features as tests.
