The document discusses using executable specifications and automation tools like Cucumber and JBehave to test a blog aggregator application. It provides examples of scenarios written in Gherkin syntax to specify tests like adding a new blog entry and checking that it appears in the aggregated blog. It also outlines the steps definitions and application code used to run the tests and assert the results.

14. Specification in jBehave Scenario : new entry is added Given that Urgo published new entry "Hello World" in his blog When aggregator runs Then aggregated blog contains 1 entry with title "Hello World" Scenario : user without Confluence account has his full name as author Given that user with author name urgo.ringo does not have Confluence account and he published new entry "Hello World" in his blog When aggregator runs Then aggregated blog contains entry "Hello World" with author "Urgo Ringo" Scenario : user with Confluence account has his username as author Given that Urgo has Confluence account with username urgo.ringo and he published new entry "Hello World" in his blog When aggregator runs Then it contains entry "Hello World" with author linked to Confluence account with username urgo.ringo

15. Steps public class AddNewEntrySteps { ... @BeforeScenario public void setup() { feed = new SimpleSyndFeed(); plugin = new Confluence( currentDateProvider ); plugin .registerBlogToAggregator( feed ); } ... @AfterScenario public void reset() { plugin .uninstallAggregator(); } }

16. <given> @Given ( &quot;that Urgo published new entry amp;quot;$titleamp;quot; in his blog&quot; ) public void newBlogEntryPublished(String title) { plugin .installAggregator( &quot;urgo.ringo&quot; ); publishNewBlogEntry(title); }

17. <when> @When ( &quot;aggregator runs&quot; ) public void aggregatorRuns() { plugin .runAggregator(); }

18. <then> @Then ( &quot;aggregated blog contains 1 entry with title amp;quot;$titleamp;quot;&quot; ) public void aggregatedBlogContainNewEntry(String title) { List<ContentEntityObject> entries = plugin .getAggregatedEntries(); assertEquals (1, entries.size()); assertEquals (title, entries.get(0).getTitle()); }
