Introduction to Cucumber:
Cucumber testing framework/automation is a software tool preferred by testers and computer programmers to carry out error-free testing processes. Cucumber test automation supports Behavior Driven Development (BDD), which is a technique where you can write simple test cases regardless of technical ability. Anyone in the organization can understand the test cases written in Cucumber with Gherkin.
The Cucumber testing framework integrates explaining the application’s behavior using the Gherkin language. Gherkin uses a simple syntax and supports multiple programming languages like Python, Ruby, Java, etc. So that you can use any language you are familiar with. The Cucumber automation tool not only integrates with Selenium but other web-based testing tools like Watir and Ruby on Rails.

SOFTWARE TOOLS WE USE THAT ARE SUPPORTED BY CUCUMBER –
Cucumber supports almost all popular software platforms. This is the reason behind Cucumber’s popularity over other frameworks like JBehave, Easyb, JDave, etc. Some of the Cucumber supported tools are –
1. Selenium
2. Ruby on Rails
3. Watir
4. Spring Framework
5. PicoContainer
More Details…
Cucumber testing framework will not communicate directly with the applications. Cucumber acts more like an execution framework. Use the framework in conjunction with the tools like Selenium WebDriver. The use of Cucumber in Gherkin language supports features and scenarios based on their definitions for its programming function or test case execution.
Using Cucumber you can write automated tests in three steps that deliver high value while requiring low maintenance:
1. Define Scenarios: The acceptance tests are written in Gherkin language. The scenarios are defined based on the user stories and features by the BA Team.
2. Create Step Definitions: Once the scenarios are defined, implement the steps for execution.This can be done in varieties of languages supported by Cucumber. For example, if you select a language like Java for implementation, define the necessary classes and methods by creating a project structure. The project can have referenced added to the Selenium jars, so that the packages can be imported and used to implement the steps to drive browsers using Selenium API.
3. Define UI Element Descriptions: One of the best ways is to use the PageObject design pattern to define UI element descriptions. The pattern makes automated test maintenance easier. The reason being any changes made to the page elements are abstracted into the PageObject itself, without any requirement of updating the feature files and step definitions.
WHICH LANGUAGE IS USED IN CUCUMBER FRAMEWORK?
Originally, Cucumber tool was written in the Ruby programming language. It was specifically meant for testing of Ruby as a complement to the RSpec BDD framework.
But now, Cucumber framework supports a variety of programming languages like PHP, Python, Perl, Net, JavaScript, Java, etc. With several implementations. And in Java, it supports native JUnit.
