Cucumber Automation Framework

Basic Knowledge

1. Java
2. Maven
3. AssertJ

Maven Setup

1. Download Maven binary folder
2. Place the folder under /opt/ directory
3. Edit your .bash_profile file to add the MAVEN_HOME

export MAVEN_HOME=/opt/apache-maven-3.6.0/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$MAVEN_HOME

Automation Parent

1. Clone the repository automation-test-parent
2. Open a terminal and navigate to the root folder of the project, then execute the following command:

mvn clean install -Dreporting.skip=true

3. Wait until get in console the :

[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------

Maven project

1. Create a new Maven project
2. In pom.xmlfile add a parent pom.

<parent>
    <groupId>com.identitymind.automation.test</groupId>
    <artifactId>automation-test-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>

Cucumber

Open source tool tests business-readable specifications against your code on any modern development stack.

Gherkin Syntax

• Feature
• Scenario
• Given, When, Then, But
• Examples

Cucumber Expressions

Sentence : I have 42 cucumbers in my belly
Match expression : I have {int} cucumbers in my belly

Parameter Types

Type	Examples
{int}	1, -10
{float}	.8, 3.8, -9.4
{word}	banana but not banana split
{string}	"any words double-quoted", 'or single-quoted'
{}	Matches anything /.*/

Custom Parameter Types

I have a {color} ball
To add {color} we can use typeRegistry to define new parameter.

typeRegistry.defineParameterType(new ParameterType<>(
    "color",           // name
    "red|blue|yellow", // regexp
    Color.class,       // type
    Color::new         // transformer function
))

Feature Files

In Cucumber, an example is called a scenario. Scenarios are defined in .feature files, which are commonly stored in the src/test/resources directory (or a subdirectory).

Feature: Is it Friday yet?
  Everybody wants to know when it's Friday

  Scenario: Sunday isn't Friday
    Given today is Sunday
    When I ask whether it's Friday yet
    Then I should be told "Nope"

Dependency Injection

Pass variables between classes (Hooks-Test Steps)

Reports

• Pretty/json
• html
• junit/xml
