Cucumber-JUnit-BDD

Cucumber is a test automation tool following the principles of Behavioral Driven Development (BDD) and living documentation. Cucumber is written in plain English text called Gherkin. It is defined as a scenario of inputs, actions and outcomes. Every Gherkin step is “glued” to a step definition method that executes the step, using annotations and regular expressions.
