About:
Cucumber-Ruby is the official Ruby implementation of Cucumber, a tool for Behavior-Driven Development (BDD). It allows you to write tests in plain language that both developers and non-technical stakeholders can understand. This bridges the communication gap between business requirements and the actual codebase.
Key Features:
  • Executable specifications using Gherkin syntax
  • Step definitions to link plain text to Ruby code
  • Rich ecosystem with extensive reporting and formatters
  • Integrates with RSpec, Minitest, and other Ruby testing frameworks
Use Cases:
  • Automated acceptance testing for web and API applications
  • Creating living documentation for software projects
  • Facilitating collaboration between developers, QA, and product owners
Alternatives:
  • cucumber-js – JavaScript implementation of Cucumber, ideal for Node.js projects.
  • rspec – A Ruby-specific BDD framework that uses a DSL instead of plain text.
