Automating Tests for Business Requirements with Cucumbe
Cucumber is a test automation tool that allows converting business requirements written in natural language into code. Cucumber is used for testing the software functionality without detailed interaction with the internal structure of the system. In our company, we used Cucumber for automation of acceptance testing and support of test-driven development (TDD) and behavior-driven development (BDD) principles.

Technical Aspects of Cucumber
Languages
Cucumber supports many programming languages, such as Java, Ruby, Groovy, and others.
Gherkin
Gherkin syntax is used for writing test scenarios in a language that is understandable to everyone. This makes the tests accessible not only to developers, but also to business analysts.
Integration
Cucumber integrates well with other popular tools, such as Selenium for testing web applications and JUnit for reports.
Support for CI/CD
Cucumber can be easily integrated into continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) processes, which we have successfully implemented in our projects.
Possibilities and features of using Cucumber
Support for multiple platforms
Cucumber can be used on almost any platform and programming language.
Collaboration
The Gherkin format allows team members with different skills and knowledge to work together.
Reuse of code
Steps in scenarios can be reused, which reduces code duplication.
Easy debugging
Testing scenarios are easy to match with the code, which simplifies the debugging process.
Scenarios
Cucumber is used for writing various scenarios, including positive and negative tests, to ensure the quality of software.
Documentation
Scenarios written in Gherkin serve as excellent living documentation. This simplifies the process of training new team members.
Continuous integration
Cucumber is easy to integrate with Jenkins for automatic test runs with each code commit.
Cross-platform
Cucumber can be used for testing web applications, mobile applications, and microservices, demonstrating its flexibility and cross-platform capabilities.
