BDD with Cucumber
Cucumber enables a team to collaboratively create specific examples that specify what the system should do from the user's perspective. Product Owners, developers and testers collaborate together to write acceptance criteria in natural language and unobtrusively automate tests for them. These executable specifications function as acceptance criteria for the user stories the team is developing.
This session will introduce the place of BDD, the specification by example approach, and how you can use Cucumber-JVM to specify and automate your acceptance criteria. We will also compare Cucumber with other BDD frameworks, how it fits in with unit testing frameworks, and how discuss to apply BDD for your project.
