The most basic cucumber scenario will look like this:
GIVEN – state or input of system
WHEN – action perform with the system
THEN – output of system
Tips to write a good Cucumber tests
  • Keep it straightforward, short, precise, and to the point
  • Make it maintainable (example: check that a text present rather the whole text content)
  • Avoid repetition as this will slow down the CI build (try to reuse existing scenario)
  • Start writing by listing out the scenarios before going into the details
  • Avoid too many comments
  • Write it from the business or perspective rather than technical perspective
