Cucumber is an open source testing tool that supports Behaviour Driven Development framework and enables the client to understand the application of code as it uses Gherkin language which is a plain english text. ​ How Cucumber Works :

Cucumber provides two types of file :

• Feature File

• Step Definition Class File
  

Feature File It is in .feature format and scenarios are written here in Gherkin language. In this file tests are described in a descriptive language that serves as an automation scripts as well as live document. Step Definition Class File It is a java method in a class with an annotation above it. This annotation is used to link the step definition to all the matching steps. ​ Cucumber reads the code written in feature file and finds the exact match of each step in the step definition. Here are some of the software platforms which cucumber supports :

• Ruby on Rails

• Selenium

• PicoContainer

• Spring Framework

• Watir ​ ​ ​
