What is SELENIUM
In recent times, there are a lot of applications
which are web-based and which run in a browser.
Testing such applications manually take up much
time hence automated testing tools like selenium
is the way to go. Selenium is a free open
source automated testing tool for web
applications across various browsers and
platforms. It is actually similar to HP Quick
Test Pro only that Selenium converges on
automating web-based applications.

What is
Many times it happens that clients are
non-technical persons and to make them understand
the testing process you need a behavior driven
framework. Cucumber is a behavior driven
framework which can help you to produce the
product as per client needs. It tests the
behavior of the application and writes the tests
in simple English language which is similar to
English and known as Gherkin language.

'Runner.java' class file under it.

• _at_RunWith() is the test runner class to start
  executing test
• _at_CucmberOptions() is used to set some properties
  for cucumber test like feature file, step
  definition, etc.
