What Is Cucumber?
2
Cucumber is a tool which supports development via
behavior realization (BDD - Behavior-Driven
Development). It is considered to be utilized for
creating the tests which can be understood by
each and all, even without special technical
knowledge.

In the case of behavior-driven development, the
users (exactly business analysts, product
owners), firstly, create scenarios or acceptance
tests which describe the system behavior from the
end users point of view. Thus, the product owner
reviews and finally hands over all scenarios to
the developers for code writing.

The Cucumber tool uses the Ruby programming
language. The Cucumber projects are also
available on the other platforms, except Ruby.
Gherkin is a language which utilizes Cucumber for
the test-cases specification.

Syntax - line oriented as well as in Python. All
Gherkin files have a .feature extension. The
Cucumber tests are divided into the separated
features which are, in their turn, divided into
the scenarios - the steps consequences. Feature
is a user case which describes the specific
system function under test.
