Teams working on the JVM can now say goodbye forever to misunderstood
requirements, tedious manual acceptance tests, and out-of-date
documentation. Cucumber - the popular, open-source tool that helps teams
communicate more effectively with their customers - now has a Java
version, and our bestselling Cucumber Book has been updated to match.
The Cucumber for Java Book has the same great advice about how to
deliver rock-solid applications collaboratively, but with all code
completely rewritten in Java. New chapters cover features unique to the
Java version of Cucumber, and reflect insights from the Cucumber team
since the original book was published.
Until now it's been difficult for teams developing Java applications to
learn how to benefit from Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD). This book
changes all that by describing in detail how to use Cucumber to harness
the power of plain language specifications in your development process.
In part 1, you'll discover how to use Cucumber's Gherkin DSL to describe
the behavior your customers want from the system. You'll also learn how
to write Java code that interprets those plain language specifications
and checks them against your application. Part 2 guides you through a
worked example, using Spring, MySQL, and Jetty. Enhanced chapters teach
you how to use Selenium to drive your application and handle
asynchronous Ajax calls, and new chapters cover Dependency Injection
(DI) and advanced techniques to help keep your test suites fast. Part 3
shows you how to integrate Cucumber with your Continuous Integration
(CI) system, work with a REST web service, and even use BDD with legacy
applications.
Written by the creator of Cucumber and two of its most experienced users
and contributors, The Cucumber for Java Book is an authoritative guide
that will give you and your team all the knowledge you need to start
using Cucumber with confidence.
