I've been doing web and microservice application development for a long time and this is one of the best teaching videos I've come across. The concepts were well explained and the examples did not overwhelm the viewer. Great Job!

[@TheOhayoDev]

Nice to hear! If there are any other topics you would be interest feel free to let me know. I have experience in a wide array of software development and automated testing projects

[@clips5286]

I love how you explain things in "plain English". You make it very easy to understand these concepts.

[@aleksey3732]

Six years past, but still relevant data. Thank you!

[@karmitpatel98]

Clean, Clear and to the point. Great explanation. Thank you very much.

[@TheOhayoDev]

Glad it was helpful! Let me know if there are any other video topics you're interested in.

[@professorfontanez]

The keywords Given, When, Then, And, But, etc., are recommendations not set in stone rules. They are meant to make your scenarios more readable. But they are in no way strict keywords like in a programming language. For instance, you can use "Given" for an action and "When" for a precondition and the test will execute the same way. You can also use the same keyword throughout if you want (i.e. use "When" for every line). The only drawback to this is that it makes your document less readable by humans. So, what Jared showed here is the RECOMMENDED convention to follow.

[@Driverforcash]

So is cucumber just a guidance to a feature file then ?

[@professorfontanez]

@@Driverforcash I am not sure what you mean by that. The keywords (I guess) are just a guidance. They hold no special meaning with regards to test execution.

[@joadams8605]

[@TheOhayoDev]

Awesome! I hope it helped and good luck. For some people KZbins audio normalization on this video is a little odd for some reason. I've has some people say that if they view it in something like TeamViewer or other remote software it doesn't work correctly. I have also been told by some people that when they were logged out of KZbin the audio was fixed

[@matrixpub]

Assumption: When a developer runs these tests, thus would be after they have written the code for the solution. Question: (Developer process steps) Scenario 1 1. Does a developer look at the requirement (user story) 2. investigate the current code to see how it works and understand this 3. Define what code changes are needed to the current code to meet the requirement 4. Write the code they have defined to meet the requirement 5. Then run the Gherkin tests to prove the changes work and the requirement is met Or Scenario 2 Do they copy and paste the "Given, When, Then" into Gherkin and keep running the test looking for errors and defects for the tests, and keep correcting the code until there are no more errors Thanks

[@darrenhudson1033]

That would depend on whether they are using TDD (Test Driven Development) or not. Using a TDD approach, they would actually write the test first, have it fail, then write the code in order to try and make the test pass. You would usually iterate this process numerous times until the test passes.

[@michaeladamspmp]

This is great, and it looks particularly helpful, especially for integration testing. I'm curious, however, if you could explain or demonstrate the aspect where you say you have to write your test codes. How does this tie to the code and perform tests?

[@HowTo-lc2rp]

Awesome 👍

Thanks for the presentation. My query: how to handle dynamic input e.g you have to login with requested random 3 pins every time out of 6 pins.

[@wtfchazpwnt]

Does the scenario outline with two headers shown at 18:25 act as a nested loop? Awesome explanation by the way!

[@HowRandomIsRandom]

I think it acts as a single loop, taking one row of values at a time. So first iteration of the loop takes "name" for placeholder and "missing_name_error" for placeholder Second iteration of the loop takes "email" for placeholder and "missing_email_error" for placeholder And so on...

[@emanueol]

do you have and example how to implement a 3 steps like: - given table with 3 records (and provide all values for all columns of the 3 rows). - execute database procedure that does something with the table. -provide table values as they should look after executing procedure to confirm procedure works as intended. I used in a client jenkins -> maven + liquidbase maven plugin + cucumber maven plugin, and was really great but.. ci/cd system was already in place, so i/we just used without caring how to setup it from scratch. So it has been frustating googling for this type of cucumber test "table before--execute procedure--table after" and i simply cant find anything online. The point i am at the moment is seems to me cucumber tests need implementation of the steps to do the real work, which in my case would be to truncate table, insert records in a table, execute procedure and finally compare whatever table rows have vs the snapshot i got in after test. Would appreciate any suggestions that would allow me to either grab some open source implementation of cucumber tests like the one im looking for, or at least a simple example of how to implement steps, so i can eventually try implementing myself the steps i mentioned (probably in python i guess).

[@TheOhayoDev]

One option would be to use tables in your gherkin something like what I have below. I have also worked with clients where we read the data from a spreadsheet to populate the data and verify the expected result. Given the "User" table has the following records: | first_name | last_name | account_balance | | Jane | Smith. | 100.01 | | Jon | Smith | 500.00 | When I execute the "subtract fee" on the "User" table Then the "User" table should have the following records: | first_name | last_name | account_balance | | Jane | Smith. | 99.01 | | Jon | Smith | 499.00 |

[@emanueol]

@@TheOhayoDev Meanwhile I kept googling and learned a bit more on this subject of tests: 1. we need to manual code the steps - this is where i been struggling as why i cant find anything online or github, surely someone had implemented the given table > execute proc > then table pattern right ? But i havent found a good soul sharing that. 2. Theres Cucumber and thers Behave. A friend of mine suggested Cucumber more Java env and Behave more Python env. Im database sql developer so i rather stick with the elegant Python i guess to implement the pattern. But thanks, your example its exactly what myself as developer used in enterprise customers, but as a user, as i havent created the ci/cd pipeline.

[@emanueol]

Please share nice link example showing implementation of implementing such steps using Behave: Given the "User" table has the following records: ---> would load into test original_collection and then SQL truncate table + insert i suppose. | first_name | last_name | account_balance | | Jane | Smith. | 100.01 | | Jon | Smith | 500.00 | Then the "User" table should have the following records: --> would SELECT into test collection and compare with original_collection. | first_name | last_name | account_balance | | Jane | Smith. | 99.01 | | Jon | Smith | 499.00 |

[@brentmarquez4157]

Thank you for the video, Jared. I am helping with a project at work using Cucumber and am trying to figure out how to run a callback (to log some custom output) after a Timeout error occurs. a default timeout length is set in a setup config file, and the tests that exceed that time limit do show as timing out in the console, but when this occurs we want to log some custom output. Ideally this custom output needs to be run dynamically for any test that fails because of a timeout, s inserting a setTimeout callback for each individual test is not an option. I was thinking about playing around with an After hook and checking scenario to see if it failed, but I don't know if there is a better way to do this. I have not been able to find documentation to show how to do this and wanted to know if you have any suggestions. Thank you.

18:21 Are there tools that would generate those combinations of variables exhaustively or even with some intelligence (e.g. boundary value analysis, equivalence class testing) based on Gherkin?

[@lililonga7941]

Thank you for putting this onto youtube - watching the video after having read the blog truly cleared up some questions. Question - Over what time frame should all the sessions for one story be completed? if in the instance, there are many unknowns and further discovery is needed, but capacity is limited - would it be fine to pick up the second/following sessions a week after? also, would you recommend doing 1 example mapping session everyday or at least a few a week? thanks so much

[@TheOhayoDev]

Generally our most successful projects have nailed down the broad strokes of all the stories in a planned release over a couple days. After that we usually work closely with the product owner multiple times a week for the life of the project to continue to refine the stories and tasks needed for the release. Don't expect to plan it everything up front.
