Gwen-Web

A Gwen interpreter that enables teams to automate front end web tests and repetitive online processes with Gherkin feature specifications. A web engine interacts with Selenium under the covers to perform operations and checks in browsers. All the standard Selenium locators are supported and you can additionally inject JavaScript in places where dynamically finding elements or running functions on web pages may be necessary.

How it Works?

1. Declare feature specs to describe scenarios in the language of your domain.

  Feature: Todo

 Scenario: Create todo list
     Given a new todo list
      When the following items are added
           | Get the milk  |
           | Walk the dog  |
      Then the list will contain 2 items

2. Compose meta specs to describe how steps will execute to automate scenarios.

  Feature: Todo Meta (automation glue)
                        
 @StepDef
 Scenario: a new todo list
      When I navigate to "http://todomvc.com/examples/react"
      Then the todo field can be located by class "new-todo"
       And count can be located by css ".todo-count strong"

 @StepDef
 @ForEach
 @DataTable(horizontal="item")
 Scenario: the following items are added
      When I enter item in the todo field
      Then count should be record.number

 @StepDef
 Scenario: the list will contain <expected> items
      Then count should be "$<expected>"

3. Launch Gwen to bind your meta and execute your feature specs to automate.
