Cucumber Java for Developers
Expand your hands-on knowledge of Specification by Example with Cucumber for Java.
Description
In this training, you'll build on your practical knowledge of Specification by Example by diving into Cucumber for Java. By the end of this course, you'll know how to automate Gherkin scenarios.
By writing examples in Gherkin, we can automate them in Java using the open-source Cucumber framework (https://cucumber.io/). We’ll focus heavily on creating maintainable automated scenarios.
The training emphasizes on hands-on exercises.
You can follow the "Specification by Example" training separately beforehand (see 'Related Courses' below).
