📢 Announcing QAF BDD2 - Taking Behavior-Driven Development to New Heights!

Wed, 02 Jan 2019 00:00:00 +0000

We are thrilled to introduce BDD2, the latest advancement in the Qmetry Automation Framework (QAF) that redefines Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) for your testing needs. Building upon the success of QAF’s BDD syntax, QAF’s BDD2 brings a host of powerful features and enhancements to streamline your behavior-driven testing journey.

BDD2 is an enhanced syntax derived from QAF’s BDD, JBehave, and Gherkin, designed to facilitate behavior-driven testing and test automation. BDD2 enhances the BDD experience, offering testers a rich set of features to create clear, expressive, and data-driven test scenarios. By utilizing custom metadata, parameterization, and data-driven testing, BDD2 empowers testers to achieve efficient and reliable behavior-driven test automation in their projects.

Key Features of BDD2:

🌟 Custom Metadata: With BDD2, you can now add custom metadata to your scenarios, providing additional information and categorizing test cases. Easily group scenarios, set priority, and select tests based on specific criteria. This metadata allows users to categorize and manage scenarios effectively, enabling scenario selection, priority setting, and data provider definition.

🌟 Parameter Support: With BDD2, you can utilize parameters in step arguments, enhancing the flexibility and reusability of test scenarios. Parameters can be resolved with actual values during test execution, allowing for dynamic test cases.

🌟 Data-Driven Testing: BDD2 provides robust data-driven testing capabilities through embedded or external test data sources. You can use external test data from CSV, XML, JSON, Excel, or databases, or embed test data using the Examples keyword in scenario outlines.

🌟 Background Support: BDD2 supports the Background section, allowing you to define common steps that are executed before each scenario in a feature file. This promotes code reuse and reduces redundancy across scenarios.

🌟 Compatibility and Flexibility: BDD2 is compatible with QAF-Gherkin and other Gherkin editors, making it adaptable to various testing environments. The framework can be used with the TestNG runner using BDDTestFactory2 or with the Cucumber runner using QAF-cucumber.

QAF’s BDD2 brings a higher level of expressiveness and efficiency to behavior-driven testing in the Quality Automation Framework. By leveraging custom metadata, parameterization, and data-driven testing, QAF-BDD2 enables testers to create clear, concise, and reusable test scenarios. This enhances collaboration between stakeholders, ensures better test coverage, and simplifies the maintenance of test automation suites.

Join us on this exciting journey with QAF and BDD2, where powerful features and enhanced capabilities take your behavior-driven testing to new heights. Embrace the efficiency, flexibility, and reliability of BDD2, and experience BDD like never before.

Upgrade your test automation experience today with QAF’s BDD2 - Empowering your test scenarios, one step at a time! 🚀

QAF Gherkin Client

Fri, 30 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000

QAF pre release 2.1.9 RC2 with Gherkin Client

We strongly recommand QAF-BDD for authoring test case in behavior driven way. Nevertheless, in addition to BDD, CSV, Excel, and XML client, we are going to provide gherkin client for those who already married with cucumber and wish to use all the QAF features. It will allow to author test in gherkin format. While you are authoring test in gherkin format you can provide step implementation using @QAFTestStep annotation or Cucumber step annotations (@Given, @When, @Then, @And, @But).

What are the benefits:

We found that existing cucumber users struggling with execution (especially parallel execution) and run configuration. Many of the times duplication of feature file because of hard-coded data in feature file.

This feature will allow to author test case in gherkin format, so the cucumber users can easily use QAF for test authoring. The predominant benefit is, you can run gherkin as QAF scenario so it will have all QAF execution features like run configuration, reporting, parallel execution, step listener.

It will support test data outside feature file (all QAF data provider support) using QAF data-provider meta-data with Examples you can separate out data from feature file to text, csv, xml, excel or json file or DB

Another useful value addition is regardless of which step implementation (cucumber or QAF) you have, you can use step listeners.

You can use either QAS BDD editor or standard Cucumber editor for authoring feature file. It will enable migration from cucumber to QAF as with this feature you can continue using step implementation with cucumber step annotation.

How to use

Author test cases in gherkin format. Refer feature files
Implement steps or you can use in-built QAF steps. Refer CucumberStepImpl.java example of cucumber step implementation and QAFTestStepImpl.java for QAF step implementation example. You need to provide either one of the implementation (you can have mixed implementation as well)

Use com.qmetry.qaf.automation.step.client.gherkin.GherkinScenarioFactory Factory class for run configuration XML

<test name="Gherkin-QAF-Test">
   <parameter name="step.provider.pkg" value="com.qmetry.qaf.automation.impl.step.qaf" />
   <parameter name="scenario.file.loc" value="resources/features" />
   <classes>
      <class name="com.qmetry.qaf.automation.step.client.gherkin.GherkinScenarioFactory" />
   </classes>
</test>

Provide step.provider.pkg to configure package from where your step implementation need to be loaded
Provide scenario.file.loc to configure feature file(s) or directory
You can use tags as groups in XML configuration file.
