Behavior-Driven Development

BDD works by implementing tests using human-readable stories.

Cucumber is a tool that implements a BDD workflow by using human-readable feature files written in plain English language, for example:

Feature: Log in to site. 
  In order to see my profile 
    As a user 
    I need to log-in to the site. 
 
Scenario: Logs in to the site 
  Given I am on "/" 
  When I follow "Log In" 
    And I fill in "Username" with "admin" 
    And I fill in "Password" with "test" 
    And I press "Log in" 
  Then I should see "Log out" 
    And I should see "My account"
