Explore the differences between tdd and bdd, including who writes scenarios, gherkin language, end-to-end behavior, and unit versus acceptance testing.
Learn to build a Cucumber-based BDD framework with Selenium and Java, using Gherkin feature files, step definitions, a test runner, and reports.
Define Gherkin and feature file by writing end-to-end scenarios in Gherkin language, using feature, scenario, given/when/then, and other keywords; learn setup with Notepad++ and Gherkin plugin to create feature files.
Master Gherkin's when, then, and end keywords to write test steps and verifications in feature files, including data entry, clicks, and cart validations in end-to-end scenarios.
Explore how the Gherkin background step reduces repetition by defining common given steps before all scenarios in a BDD with Cucumber, ensuring consistent setup across scenarios.
Explore gherkin step arguments and how to pass data from a feature file to step definitions using double-quoted strings, including username and password input and triggering login.
Explore scenario outline in Gherkin to drive data-driven testing with multiple data sets using examples and data tables; learn how to parameterize steps with step arguments and validate login flows.
Master BDD basics by writing Gherkin feature files for end-to-end application flows, including login, registration, and step definitions. Design scenarios with given-when-then, and prepare for data-driven testing.
Set up a cucumber runner file in java to execute feature files, configure options like feature path, dry run, monochrome, and glue, and generate reports.

Cucumber is one of the most popular BDD tool.
To Testers point of view, we can use this tool to implement BDD approach with Selenium, Calabash, Watir etc.
If you’re new to BDD and want to get basic to expert level understanding of BDD then this course is a right place to get started.
Cucumber is a software tool that supports behavior-driven development. Central to the Cucumber BDD approach is its ordinary language parser called Gherkin. It allows expected software behaviors to be specified in a logical language that customers can understand.
This course is designed to make you understand BDD basic to advance, Why to implement BDD in Automation project, How to implement BDD using Cucumber.
Before the BDD framework, everyone was using TDD. TDD works fine in software development, provided the stakeholders are familiar with the framework being used and their technical knowledge is sufficient. However, this may not be the case always.
BDD provides a path that acts as a bridge to overcome the gap between the technical and the non-technical teams because the test cases are commonly written in simple text, i.e. English. The main advantage of BDD is the low jargon and clearer approach which is easier to understand.
