(Automate Test) Behavior Driven Development-Specflow #1

In the first time, before we will implement. I would like to explain about Specflow, BDD and Cucumber about meaning and why i am using specflow to implement Automate test. let go to enjoy >>>

What is BDD ?

• Behavior Driven Testing is an enhancement of TDD.
• In BDD also we write tests first and than later we add code for the test.
• Tests are write in plain English type gamma.
• Every tests represent a behavior of an application

What is Cucumber ?

• Cucumber is testing framework which support BDD.
• Cucumber use gamma defined by language called Gherkin
• Gherkin language provide the keyword such as Given, When, Then, And
• Using which one can write the test scenario

What is Specflow ?

• Specflow is the .Net implementation of Cucumber.

Gherkin Keywords

Keyword Gherkin

• Feature Keyword : Each feature file begins with this keyword. This provide the name and description of the feature which is under test.
• Scenario Keyword : Each feature will have multiple test. A Test is describer by scenario keyword.
• Given Keyword : This is keyword defines a precondition of a scenario.
• And Keyword : This keyword is used to provide the additional condition to the step. It can be used with Given, When and Then
• When Keyword : This keyword defines an action that will be executed.
• Then Keyword : This keyword defines the outcome of the previous step.
• But Keyword : This keyword defines negative condition added to the previous step
• Background Keyword : This keyword defines the step which are common across the scenario

In next the contents, I will show about how to do Automate by Gherkins or Specflow.
