Java Cucumber Template

This template provides a starter project for acceptance testing of RESTful applications. The example provided tests the companion project Java REST Template.

This template uses BDD and Specification-by-Example techniques for documenting application features. Cucumber-JVM is used for automated testing.

Quick Start

To run the tests, first start the Java REST Template application mentioned above in a separate shell. Then run the tests by executing mvn test in this folder.

Package Structure

The example feature (accounts.feature) is located at src/test/resources/org/archfirst/template. The Java package structure is as follows

org.archfirst.template
    steps
    services
    domain

  • The template package contains the Cucumber test runner called RunCukesTest.

  • The steps package contains the Cucumber step definitions associated with the scenarios in the feature files.

  • The services folder encapsulates the low-level details of accessing the server API. Step definitions use these services to make request to the server. This keeps the step definitions at a high level and very readable.

  • The domain package contains domain entities that are exchanged with the server.
