Description

This updated course helps you to grasp the core concepts of the Cucumber behavior-driven development (BDD) framework from scratch. You will learn various automation terminologies, the process to integrate the Cucumber framework with Maven, Jenkins, and Selenium, and a lot of interesting topics that will help you to develop high-class automation test cases.

Do you want to learn the lifesaver tool of the Quality Assurance (QA) industry in developing test frameworks with minimal programming knowledge? This course teaches you how to use the Cucumber framework to automate test cases for testing applications. The course starts with an introduction to Cucumber and Gherkin syntaxes and takes you through the process of installing Cucumber on your machines. Next, you will l understand the Cucumber framework and learn how to reuse the code with regular expressions. Moving along, you will learn to perform data-driven testing with Cucumber and use hooks to manage the code workflow. Next, you will learn to generate reports for Cucumber tests and integrate the Cucumber framework with Maven, Jenkins, and Selenium. Finally, you will learn to use Jenkins to run the project and get a detailed understanding of the Git version control system. By the end of this course, you will have mastered the concepts of the Cucumber framework needed to develop a test framework for testing web, mobile, and API applications.
