What's cucumber?

Cucumber is a tool that supports Behaviour-Driven Development(BDD). If you’re new to Behaviour-Driven Development read our BDD introduction first.

What is Gherkin?

Gherkin is a set of grammar rules that makes plain text structured enough for Cucumber to understand. The scenario above is written in Gherkin.

What are Step Definitions?

Step definitions connect Gherkin steps to programming code. A step definition carries out the action that should be performed by the step. So step definitions hard-wire the specification to the implementation.

What's Selenium?

Selenium automates browsers.

What you do with that power is entirely up to you.

Primarily it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that.

Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should) also be automated as well.
