This document provides a tutorial on Selenium, Cucumber, and Gherkin. It explains that Selenium is an automated testing tool for web applications that works across browsers. Cucumber is a behavior-driven development framework that writes tests in a simple English-like language called Gherkin. The tutorial then outlines the prerequisites for using Cucumber with Selenium such as downloading required jar files. It proceeds to demonstrate how to create a sample automation test project in Eclipse with Cucumber and Selenium that includes a feature file in Gherkin syntax, test runner, and step definitions classes to execute the tests.

2. What is
SELENIUM
In recent times, there are a lot of applications
which are web-based and which run in a browser.
Testing such applications manually take up much
time hence automated testing tools like selenium
is the way to go.
Selenium is a free open source automated testing
tool for web applications across various browsers
and platforms. It is actually similar to HP Quick Test
Pro only that Selenium converges on automating
web-based applications.

3. What is
Many times it happens that clients are non-
technical persons and to make them understand
the testing process you need a behavior driven
framework.
Cucumber is a behavior driven framework which
can help you to produce the product as per client
needs.
It tests the behavior of the application and writes
the tests in simple English language which is similar
to English and known as Gherkin language.

4. Prerequisite for using Cucumber
with Selenium
Selenium jar files:
• Selenium-server-standalone
Can be downloaded at
http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/

5. Jar files For Cucumber :
• Cucumber-core
• Cucumber-html
• cobertura code coverage
• Cucumber-java
• Cucumber-junit
• Cucumber-jvm-deps
• Cucumber-reporting
• Hemcrest-core
• Gherkin
• Junit
Can be downloaded
at http://mvnrepository.com/search?q=Cucumber
On this page, you have to search files & download them
individually. Let’s go through Some Screenshot!

9. Automation Testing Using
Cucumber with Selenium
First of all, create a JAVA project in eclipse by New ->
Project -> Other, here you have to select Maven in
other projects

10. Continue…
Now go to Project > Select Properties > Java Build Path
and add all the libraries downloaded earlier

11. Continue…
Now create a folder by name "Features" and then
create a new file in it by name MyTest.feature.
You can write Gherkin syntax in it now.

12. Continue…
Write below lines in MyTest.feature file using Gherkin
syntax.
Feature: Reset functionality on login page of Application
Scenario: Verification of Reset button
Given Open the Firefox and launch the application
When Enter the Username and Password
Then Reset the credential

13. Continue…
Now write the selenium testrunner script. Here we create
'TestRunner' package and then 'Runner.java' class file under it.
• @RunWith() is the test runner class to start executing test
• @CucmberOptions() is used to set some properties for
cucumber test like feature file, step definition, etc.

14. Continue…
Now here we create 'StepDefinition' package and then 'Steps.java'
script file under it.
@Given is used to open Firefox and launch the application
@When is used to enter the username and password
@Then is used to reset the credential

15. Continue…
Now execute the script and analyze the output.

16. Conclusion
• Cucumber is a recognized BDD tool and it is very simple to
write/read and can be read by clients either they are a technical
and non-technical person.
• Cucumber and Selenium integration can be done using the
following 3 steps:
• Create a feature file and write tests in Gherkin language.
• Then Create Testrunner file and execute this script.
• Create Step definition, the real selenium script described
under this package.
