BDD in Java using Cucumber
- 1. Slav Kurochkin Software Engineer EPIC Loan Systems Behavior-driven development in Java using Cucumber-JVM
- 4. Cucumber is BDD tool Cucumber is NOT just a plant 4
- 5. A single source of truth Cucumber merges specification and test documentation into one cohesive whole. Living documentation Because they're automatically tested by Cucumber, your specifications are always bang up-to-date. Focus on the customer Business and IT don't always understand each other. Cucumber's executable specifications encourage closer collaboration, helping teams keep the business goal in mind at all times. Less rework When automated testing is this much fun, teams can easily protect themselves from costly regressions. 5
- 6. So how Cucumber work? Business and Technology work together 6
- 7. What is the main components of Cucumber and how to make it grow fast?* *There is no need for chemicals, just a bit of coding 7
- 8. - Feature files written in Gherkin (Given, When Then) - Step Definitions glue plain english to code using RegEx - Configuration file, helping you configure testing environment (setup, cleanup, outcome) 8
- 9. Feature file • Tag - let us define execution path • Feature - name of the the component we test • Description - short description of what we are testing • Background - common behavior for all scenarios • Scenario - individual test • Gherkin - Scenario steps (Given, When, Then) 9
- 10. Gherkin • Given - defines initial state of testing application • When - action, invoke methods, calling API, interacting with UI layer • Then - Asserting outcome • And - helper if Given, When, Then is not enough 10
- 11. Step Definition • Sketching out the domain model • Annotations defines given, when, then • RegEx to glue Feature file to Java code(or whatever language you use). 11
- 12. Configuration file • Test setup • Test cleanup • Test outcome 12
- 13. Cucumber Technical Details Part II 13
- 14. What can you test with Cucumber? 14
- 15. • DataBase Testing • Unit or/and Component Testing • API Testing using frameworks like RestAssured • Web UI testing using Selenium WebDriver 15
- 16. Technical features of Cucumber • Run specific tests (using tags) • Rerun failed tests • Parametrized tests (data driving tests) • Reusable steps (steps showing up in predictive way) • Detailed report (in case of UI testing we can add screenshot on fail) • Configurable test 16
- 17. Cucumber scenario states • Failed - scenario failed • Pending - step definition created but there is no code implementation yet • Undefined - there is Gherkin steps, but no step definition • Skipped - if scenario failed theres is no need to waste time and executing rest of the steps • Passed - lucky you :) 17
- 18. Scenario vs Scenario Outline 18
- 19. Cucumber-JVM Test Runners • JUnit • CLI runners (Gradle, Maven, Ant etc) • Android runner • Third party runners 19
