Cucumber supports various programming languages, including Java, Ruby, JavaScript, and more. It integrates seamlessly with different testing tools and frameworks, making it flexible and adaptable for your specific needs.

1. What is Gherkin or Cucumber testing?
What is Cucumber testing?
Cucumber is an open-source testing tool that works in line with Behavior Driven Development (BDD)
testing. The platform of cucumber testing uses the cucumber tool so that test cases can be defined,
automated and executed in a human-readable format. The Gherkin syntax is used as a natural
language format to write test scenarios.

2. Gherkin language is simple and easy to use that uses keywords such as When, Given and Then to
describe the test case steps. These scenarios are typically written by product owners or business
analysts so that a better understanding of what is being tested should be known.
Once the scenarios are written, developers translate them into code using automation frameworks
such as Appium or Selenium. The execution of code is done so that tests are run and results are
produced.
Some of the key benefits of Cucumber testing are improved test coverage, easier test case
maintenance and increased collaboration between business stakeholders and developers.
The strategic importance of the Cucumber framework:
1. Code reusability: Code reuse is provided by the cucumber framework. The Given-When-Then
scenarios are generated and the test case execution is handled appropriately. The technical barriers
to entry are reduced by its easy-to-use interface. More straightforward maintenance, increased
productivity and reduced development time are all the positive outcomes of this.
2. Business requirements are translated into testable scenarios: Once the business needs are
translated into concise, clear sentences, then the files of test scenarios can be gone through and
thus see the needs of product owners. This will, in turn, help in making enhancements and
modifications. The scenarios can be taken by business analysts and then turned into testable
requirements.
3. Requirements are expressed in a human-readable form: The interaction of business features is
tested by Gherkin syntax. This, in turn, helps to drive the product, such as the scope of a web page
or an app. As Gherkin syntax can be easily comprehended, the coding syntax need not be worried
about and thus, the requirements need to be translated into concise, clear sentences.
