Note:

• Each phrase start with “^” so that cucumber understand the start of the step, Similarly each step ends with “$”.
• We can use regular exprssion to pass different test data. Regular expression take data from the feature steps and pass to step definition.

Reports:

• Cucumber generates it’s own html format, however better reporting can be done by using Jenkins, Bamboo tools.
• Cucumber can report results in different formats, using formatter plugins. The available formatter plugins are: Pretty, HTML, Json, progress, usage, Junit.

Pretty Format:

• Pretty format generates the cucumber test report in html format, i.e. an html file.
• It is the most reliable report format.
• It generates the reports in the same way as it is a feature file, so tracing is also very easy.
• We can specify the location where we want this report to be placed after test execution. It can be
• — Local directory
• — Server directory
• Example

@Runwith(cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(format={"pretty", "html:target/Destination"})

• Specifying pretty as a format option that ensure html report will be generated.
• When we specify html:target/Destination it will generate html report inside the “Destination” folder in “Target” folder of the maven project.
