Cucumber Framework with Selenium Webdriver and Java

Explore behavior driven development by comparing it with test driven development, and see how acceptance criteria in plain English become BDD scenarios mapped to step definitions.

Explore the Gherkin language used for acceptance tests in the Cucumber framework, learn how its English-like syntax relies on a defined set of keywords, and preview each keyword's significance.

Create a Maven project, configure cucumber dependencies in the pom.xml, and download the required jars from the Maven repository to add to the project classpath.

Implement before and after hooks in cucumber by creating a hooks package with a GeneralHooks class and using @Before and @After annotations, and configure the runner for each scenario.

Explore dependency injection in the cucumber framework, where the framework creates a dependency object and injects it into the dependent class, using the Pico container and constructor injection.

This lecture demonstrates converting a Cucumber data table to a list of strings by appending row values, then iterating the list to print formatted output.

Learn to build XPath queries with and, or, and equals, use contains, text, start with, normalize-space, and index functions, and distinguish absolute from relative XPath for reliable web element selection.

Explore preceding axis view in XPath, selecting same-level nodes above the current node using a form node as reference, with preceding-sibling filters and descendant axes to reach a hyperlink.

Set up a Maven project and manage Selenium and testing dependencies in the pom.xml via the dependency tag; Maven downloads jars and sets the classpath.
