Behavior Driven Development Tutorial : Selenium Testing With Gherkin

Rahul Rana — Wed, 17 Aug 2022 11:42:00 +0000

Cucumber and Selenium are widely used frameworks for BDD(Behavior Driven Development) and browser automation respectively. Although on paper, it seems like a nice pair but when it comes to reality a lot of testers shy away from it. The major reason behind this is Gherkin as most testers hesitate to use it as it feels like an additional task since the test scripts are still to be written separately.

But this is not true for all. Using Gherkin can actually help in testing as it serves as a good document for all the features and can be written by anyone even with almost zero coding knowledge.

Clients say, “Cucumber benefits us to understand the application code as it uses Gherkin language which is in Plain Text.”

Being written in Gherkin, it acts as a bridge between various layers, PMs — Dev — Testers — Clients. Let us move towards understanding Behavior Driven Development with Gherkin and how it can make Selenium testing better.

In this article, I’ll further explore this topic on how to do Behavior Driven Development by Selenium testing with Gherkin. Before I start with Gherkin, I’d like to give you a small brief about TDD vs BDD.

So, What Is Behavior Driven Development?

Behavior Driven Development or popularly known as BDD, is a widely used development approach in the software industry as it empowers its user to write cases in plain English language. This helps team members even with no technical know-how to understand what is going on in the project that closes the gap between business people and technical people

In addition to a low technicality and easier to understand approach, the main advantage of Behavior Driven Development is that it transpires from TDD ie. Test-Driven Development, which supports automated testing with multiple test data with minimum intervention in code.

Cucumber — A BDD Framework Tool: Behavior Driven Development is implemented with the help of Cucumber framework which helps in automating the cases in a well-formatted and readable form.

Cucumber feature files: These files written in Gherkin language ending with .feature extension are an integral part of Cucumber and are used for application specifications.

Getting Started With Gherkin For Selenium Testing

Now that you know what Behavior Driven Development is let’s get started with Gherkin for Selenium Testing.

Gherkin is a Business Readable, Domain Specific Language which entitles its users to write effective
tests in a well-documented way that requires the least reasoning and involved logic details.

Let us understand this with a Gherkin example.

“Buyers should not be able to fill invalid credit card details.”
Versus
“On the payment page, If a buyer enters a credit card number, that is not 16 digits of length, then when they try to proceed, it should give an error message pop up stating that the entered number is not correct.”

The first Gherkin example is unclear and vague in comparison to the second one. Vagueness leads to errors and makes it harder for the tester to understand the requirement and implement test cases.

Gherkin Syntax For Selenium Testing

File structure in Gherkin is defined by the way different lines of code are indented in a feature file. Almost all lines in Gherkin for Selenium Testing starts with a special keyword and line endings terminate statements which are called as steps.

A Gherkin feature file is a combination of features, scenarios, and steps which generally looks like this:

Feature: Some terse yet descriptive text of what is desired  

Background:Some common prerequisite setup applicable to all situations  
    Scenario: Some determinable business situation  
         Given some precondition  
         And some other precondition  
         When some action by the actor  
         And some other action  
         And yet another action  
         Then some testable outcome is achieved  
         And something else we can check happens too  

    Scenario: A different situation

When executing the feature, the trailing portion of each step (after keywords like Given, And, When, etc) is matched to a regular expression generally called as glue code and can be written in any language. In this tutorial, JAVA will be used for the same.

Let us now walkthrough the above example to understand all the keywords

Feature

Feature keywords are used to donate a software feature. It usually contains a list of scenarios linked to that feature. Main elements of feature are :

The keyword — Feature.
The keyword, followed by the name user wants to give to the feature.
An optional description that can span multiple lines i.e. all the text between the line containing the keyword Feature, and a line that starts with Scenario or Background which is optional

A good feature name should look something like :

In order to meet some goal as a type of user I want a feature

As a good Gherkin coding convention it is highly recommended that one feature makes up for one *.feature file which in term is named by replacing spaces with underscore and converting feature name to lowercase. Let’s take a Gherkin example,

Feature : In order to learn Gherkin as a beginner I want to study this tutorial
Feature file name : in_order_to_learn_gherkin_as_a_beginner_i_want_to_study_this_tutorial.feature

Background

It is usually used to add some context steps that are common to all scenarios and needs to run before each scenario in a single feature file. It is like an untitled optional scenario

Background : Given a customer named John  
    When clicks on buy now button  
    Then he should be redirected to payment page

Scenario

Scenario makes the core of Gherkin structure. It describes the functionality that is under test. Main aim of a scenario is to be able to make the viewer understand what is being tested and how. The scenario keyword is followed by an optional title.

One or multiple scenarios makes up a feature file depending upon the feature in test and one or multiple steps makes up for a feature file.

By convention a good scenario follows following pattern

Describe an initial context using keyword Given
Describe an event using keyword When
Describe an expected outcome using keyword Then

Scenario : John wants to automate Selenium with Gherkin

Given John wants to learn Gherkin

When He starts reading this tutorial

Then he is able to write feature file

Steps

Steps basically make up the part of a scenario by means of given, when, then.

Given

The sole purpose of a Given statement is to give a context in order to establish a known state before the user starts interacting with the feature scenario under test.

When

This is used to describe the event due to user actions in a given state.

Then

The purpose of then step is to describe and analyse the outcomes. This analysis aims to add benefit to features by verifying the outcome that is or is not related to Given and When or may be to some external system.

But

These keywords are used to combine several Given, When or Then statements helping to make the scenario to be more readable and presentable.

Scenario : Understanding the steps  
      Given I establish a context  
      And I add another context  
      When I discuss them both  
      And I ask questions  
      Then I have no more doubts  
      But I have a better understanding

How To Run Selenium Test Scripts Using Cucumber?

To make a gherkin project for Selenium Testing, the easiest way is to create a new maven project in any IDE like Eclipse. Also the dependencies for Cucumber, Selenium, and Junit runners to execute the feature files.

for using Cucumber with java

<dependency>   
   <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>   
   <artifactId>Cucumber-java</artifactId>   
   <version>1.0.2</version>   
   <scope>test</scope>   
</dependency>

for Selenium

<dependency>   
   <groupId>org.Seleniumhq.Selenium</groupId>   
   <artifactId>Selenium-java</artifactId>   
   <version>2.47.1</version>   
</dependency>

For junit runner to run Cucumber features

<dependency>   
   <groupId>junit</groupId>   
   <artifactId>junit</artifactId>   
   <version>4.10</version>   
   <scope>test</scope>   
</dependency>

Why Use Gherkin With Selenium Testing?

Selenium is a widely used tool for functional testing across top organizations as it is easy to integrate with Gherkin and makes understanding and automating of the flow both easy and possible to be done at the same time.

By doing so one makes it easy to maintain test cases which also serves as proper documentation for all the Stakeholders and Analysts. Selenium is easy to integrate and a widely liked automation tool adds up to the usage of Cucumber. Together they make up a framework which is very easy to set up and has a low maintenance cost.

Moreover, the ability to run feature files parallelly is another advantage. Also, both Gherkin and Selenium can be coded in Java for writing the glue code for steps and browser automation respectively.

Benefits Of Gherkin In Selenium Testing With Example

Here I will explain the usage of Gherkin for Selenium Testing with some examples and the framework along with file structure by means of the following example.

Let’s take a test scenario with the development of a web application for an organization, let’s say ’Shopping.com’, and the team is discussing a process flow of order placement by a customer.

First Step, for a customer to place an order, he/she should navigate to the website and login.

Given Customer navigates to the website  
And Customer login to his account

After that customer searches for a product and clicks on the Add to Cart button

when a customer searches for laptop  
And clicks on Add to Cart button

Customer reaches the cart page and is able to click place order button

Then Customer is redirected to cart page  
And Customer is able to click the place order button.

After the flow is passed on to the automation tester, he uses it to write automation cases. Further, he adds automation code steps for the discussion file by converting it to a feature file.

Feature : Place new order  
   As a customer, I want to place an order for searched item  
      Scenario : Place an order for the required product  
            Given Customer navigates to the website  
            And Customer login to his account  
            When customer searches for laptop  
            And clicks on add to cart button  
            Then Customer is redirected to cart page  
            And Customer is able to click the place order button

Now to make these steps work I’ll write step definition code

package Cucumber.stepDefinitions;  

public class PlaceOrderStepDefs {  
      @Given(“Customer navigates to the website”)  
      public void navigateToWebsite(){  
      }  

      @And(“Customer login to his account”)  
      public void customerLogin(){  
      }        

      @When(“customer searches for laptop”)  
      public void searchForLaptop(){  
      }        

      @And(“clicks on add to cart button”)  
      public void clickAddToCart(){  
      }  

      @Then(“Customer is redirected to cart page”)  
      public void redirectionToCartPage(){  
      }  

      @And(“Customer is able to click the place order button”)  
      public void clickPlaceOrderButton(){  
      }  
}

Now the point to note here is that there would be some data related to customers that are required and might be used by other feature files and scenarios as well. So it makes sense to create a separate file for such data called a properties file. Also, steps like loading this property file, initializing the driver, closing the browser after each scenario also need to be done and this would be common to all tests. So it makes sense to create a base steps file and inherit that to all step definition files.

#  APP        
url=http://www.shopping.com/   

#  Selenium      
webdriver.chrome.driver=resources/chromedriver  

#  CUSTOMER      

customerId=12345  
customerUsername=steven  
customerPassword=password123



public class BaseTests {  
    public static WebDriver driver;  

      @BeforeClass  
      public static void initialiseDriverAndProperties() {  
            loadTestProperties();  
            driver = new ChromeDriver();  
            driver.manage().window().maximize();  
       }  

      @AfterClass  
      public static void closeBrowser() {  
            driver.quit();  
      }  

      private static void loadTestProperties(){  
            Properties properties = System.getProperties();  
            try {  
                  properties.load(  
                  new FileInputStream(new File("resources/test.properties")));  
            } catch(Exception ex) {  
                  ex.printStackTrace();  
                  System.exit(-1);  
            }  
      }  
}

Having written BaseSteps.java and test.properties file now let us complete the step definition file

package Cucumber.stepDefinitions;  

public class PlaceOrderStepDefs extends BaseSteps{  
      @Given(“Customer navigates to the website”)  
      public void navigateToWebsite(){  
            driver.get(System.getProperty(“url”));  
      }  

      @And(“Customer login to his account”)  
      public void customerLogin(){
            driver.findElement(By.id(“username”)).enterData(“username”);  
            driver.findElement(By.id(“password”)).enterData(“password”);  
            driver.findElement(By.id(“login”)).click();  
      }  

      @When(“customer searches for laptop”)  
      public void searchForLaptop(){  
            driver.findElement(By.id(“searchBox”)).enterData(“Laptop”);  
            driver.findElement(By.id(“searchButton”)).click();  
      }  

      @And(“clicks on add to cart button”)  
      public void clickAddToCart(){  
            driver.findElement(By.id(“addToCart”)).click();  
      }  

      @Then(“Customer is redirected to cart page”)  
      public void redirectionToCartPage(){  
            Assert.assertTrue(driver.findElement(By.id(“cartPageHeader”)).isDisplayed());  
      }  

      @And(“Customer is able to click the place order button”)  
      public void clickPlaceOrderButton(){  
            Assert.assertTrue(driver.findElement(By.id(“placeOrderButton”)).isClickable());  
      }  
}

Finally, step would be to a runner file to run this feature.

package Cucumber;  

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)  
@CucumberOptions(  
      plugin = {"pretty"},  
      glue = {"Cucumber.stepDefinitions"},  
      features = {"src/test/java/Cucumber/features"})  

public class CucumberTestRunner { 
}

So with this example it is quite evident how easy it is to use Gherkin for Selenium Testing to make automation better.

Using Gherkin For BDD On Online Selenium Grid

In order to execute the Selenium automation over an Online Selenium Grid, you just need to update the BaseSteps.java to have the LambdaTest account username and access token along with a few codes changes to let the system know that it will a RemoteWebDriver running on LambdaTest grid URL with these capabilities.

Here’s what updated BaseSteps.java would look like

public class BaseTests {    

public static RemoteWebDriver driver;    

      @BeforeClass    
      public static void initialiseDriverAndProperties() {    
            loadTestProperties();    
            DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();  

            String username = "<your_lambdatest_username>";  
            String accesskey = "<your_lambdatest_accesstoken>";  
            String lambdaTestGridURL = "@hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub";  

            capabilities.setCapability("build", "Selenium_Gherkin_Project");  
            capabilities.setCapability("name", "Placing order for a product");  
            capabilities.setCapability("platform", "Windows 10");  
            capabilities.setCapability("browserName", "chrome");  
            capabilities.setCapability("version", "73.0");  
            capabilities.setCapability("visual",false);    
            capabilities.setCapability("network",false);    
            capabilities.setCapability("console",false);    
            capabilities.setCapability("tunnel",false);  
            try {  
                  driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://" + username + ":" + accesskey                     + lambdaTestGridURL), capabilities);  
            } catch (MalformedURLException e) {  
                  System.out.println("Invalid grid URL");  
            }   
      }    

      private static void loadTestProperties(){    
            Properties properties = System.getProperties();    
            try {    
                  properties.load(    
                  new FileInputStream(new File("resources/test.properties")));    
            } catch(Exception ex) {    
                  ex.printStackTrace();    
            }    
      }    
}

Execute the test same as earlier using the TestRunner file and you are good to go with added advantages of using Selenium grid and get more information about the execution in a more presentable form.

On LambdaTest dashboard you get an overview of all the tests and activities done so far along with available integrations. You can see the number of tests run via automation by using real time browser utility, concurrent sessions, date of execution and much more.

By using Realtime Cross Browser Testing panel, you can execute tests on over 2000+ real browsers & browser versions by just simply selecting from the available list.

In Visual UI Testing, users can compare screenshots on multiple combinations of OS and browser combinations.

It also provides features to test across different UI for responsiveness depending on different screen sizes and resolutions.

You can even add issues or bugs at the same time when you encounter them and track them in the Issue Tracker.

With integration on more than 30 bug tracking, CI/CD, Project Management tools you can share the bugs with your team on the go.

Wrapping It Up

In this tutorial I explained how using BDD framework like Cucumber with Gherkin can help in better collaboration among all the stakeholders along with the basics of Gherkin language and how to use its syntax. Then I went on to develop our first Selenium test automation script using Gherkin for Selenium Testing.

Now you know why you shouldn’t shy away from Gherkin for Selenium Testing. Also, how it can help all the stakeholders in your team have a strong understanding of the project. Thereby helping the project achieve its business goals faster.

Happy Testing!!

Webinar: Continuous Testing Pipelines with CircleCI and LambdaTest

Nowadays, every organization wants an extra edge over its competitors. Be it launching a product faster or delivering a higher quality product, they always want to outperform others. To ensure faster got-to-market with a high-quality web application, organizations utilize Selenium test automation in order to automate their test efforts. Enabling them to execute tests faster, with fewer mistakes in a scalable manner. Test automation has certainly made the testing process much faster, but what if I told you that your release can get even faster!

In recent times, organizations are implementing Continuous Testing in order to evaluate code at every stage of the continuous delivery process. A part of the CI/CD cycle, Continous Testing is a combination of CI/CD and test automation where you continuously test your code at every release with your automation scripts. The aim here is to make sure you test early and test often! As a part of the Continuous DevOps process, code is being continuously developed, delivered, tested, and deployed. It is

In Continous testing, whenever a developer delivers a code, automated tests are executed. In case of a failed test, the build gets rejected and the developer gets notified. In case it passes, it is pushed in the respective environments. These tests run in parallel and when a build completely evaluated, it is then deployed into production.

A successful continuous testing process involves the best of both Continuous Delivery and Selenium test automation. This is why we’ve collaborated with CircleCI, to make sure you get the best of both worlds. Here is what you’ll learn in this Webinar:

What Is CircleCI?

CircleCI is a Continuous Integration and Continous Delivery(CI/CD) platform, which helps in automating the development, testing and deployment of software. It has become a popular choice for anyone who wants to shorten the duration between idea and delivery.

With CircleCI you can easily integrate with Github, and every time you commit code there, a pipeline gets created. Whenever a pipeline fails the team is notified and the pipelines which pass are deployed to various environments automatically, helping you to get a faster go-to-market.

This CircleCI Tutorial for beginners and professionals will help you learn how to use CircleCI, one of the most popular CI/CD tools used in DevOps.

Leverage Circle CI With LambdaTest To Perform Continuous Testing For Faster Go-To-Market Launch

By utilizing both CircleCI and LambdaTest in tandem, you can get a faster go-to-market launch. You can perform Continous testing every time a new build is pushed, only pushing it to further environments when the builds pass the tests, otherwise, it sends the build back to the developer. All the different build are tested in parallel to ensure faster delivery. When the build passes all the exhaustive tests in the respective environments, it is then finally pushed to the production environment.

In this process, LambdaTest takes care of your Selenium test automation needs by ensuring that you get good test coverage on 3000+ real browsers and devices. With our Cloud Selenium grid, you don’t have to worry about maintaining lofty device labs, as we take care of it for you! You can run all your tests in parallel, and get a report of all your automation tests on LambdaTest platform. Here CircleCI takes care of the pipeline and ensures that you are able to test all of your commits and they are automatically deployed to the next environment.
