Cucumber and Gherkin

What is Cucumber?

Cucumber is an open-source, software tool that supports the Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) framework for writing automated acceptance tests. Cucumber is written in the Gherkin language to define test cases, more of which will be explained later on. Cucumber was originally written in Ruby but now supports various other programming languages like Java, JavaScript, Python and .Net. Cucumber is often used along with Selenium and Watir (amongst others).  Our setup guide will explain how to get started with using our preferred setup of Ruby, Cucumber and Watir.
