Master the skills required to effectively use Cucumber BDD which simplifies Agile development and fast-paced time-to-market KEY FEATURES ● A step-by-step explanation of each component of the Cucumber framework. ● Expert coverage on speeding up the implementation of the Cucumber framework. ● Includes Parallel Execution, Cloud Testing, Explore Gherkin, and many more. DESCRIPTION In this book, readers will learn everything they need to know about Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) and a framework used for automation testing for BDD. The book is divided into three sections. The first section covers the building blocks of Cucumber such as Feature files, Step Definition classes, and Runner classes, among other things. These will serve as the building blocks for becoming more familiar with Cucumber. The second section covers the Page Object design pattern and Page Factories, both of which are useful in developing robust frameworks. The final section demonstrates Cucumber's integration with TestNG and Maven. We will be putting each Maven build in Jenkins and configuring Jenkins to trigger automatically when a development build is completed. After reading this book, the test engineer will understand the concept of incorporating Cucumber as a BDD framework into his testing. As a result, he will be able to streamline the testing and bug detection processes. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN ● Understand the fundamentals of Test-Driven Development and Behavior-Driven Development. ● Investigate Cucumber's building blocks such as Feature Files and Step Definition Files. ● Learn the Base Class and inheritance concept within the Page Object Model Framework. ● Create a TestNG XML that calls the test runner class. ● Practice triggering POM xml testing.

Learn test-driven and behavior-driven development techniques that will give you greater confidence when building React applications Key FeaturesExplore the TDD process, how it works, and why it will help you write maintainable React appsDevelop a component testing framework from scratch, which will help you understand the mechanics of good unit testingReduce complexity by using unit tests and end-to-end acceptance tests to drive the design of your appsBook Description Test-driven development (TDD) is a programming workflow that helps you build your apps by specifying behavior as automated tests. The TDD workflow future-proofs apps so that they can be modified without fear of breaking existing functionality. Another benefit of TDD is that it helps software development teams communicate their intentions more clearly, by way of test specifications. This book teaches you how to apply TDD when building React apps. You'll create a sample app using the same React libraries and tools that professional React developers use, such as Jest, React Router, Redux, Relay (GraphQL), Cucumber, and Puppeteer. The TDD workflow is supported by various testing techniques and patterns, which are useful even if you're not following the TDD process. This book covers these techniques by walking you through the creation of a component test framework. You'll learn automated testing theory which will help you work with any of the test libraries that are in standard usage today, such as React Testing Library. This second edition has been revised with a stronger focus on concise code examples and has been fully updated for React 18. By the end of this TDD book, you'll be able to use React, Redux, and GraphQL to develop robust web apps. What you will learnBuild test-driven applications using React 18 and JestUnderstand techniques and patterns for writing great automated testsUse test doubles and mocks effectivelyTest-drive browser APIs, including the Fetch API and the WebSocket APIIntegrate with libraries such as React Router, Redux, and Relay (GraphQL)Use Cucumber.js and Puppeteer to build Behaviour- Driven Development (BDD) style tests for your applicationsBuild and test async Redux code using redux-saga and expect-reduxWho this book is for This book is for frontend developers who are looking to improve their testing practices and increase the quality and maintainability of their applications.
