This plugin adds to NetBeans support for Cucumber. Cucumber is a tool for running automated acceptance tests written in a behavior driven development (BDD) style. You can use it to automate functional validation in a form that is easily readable and understandable to business users, developers and testers.

overview

Cucumber lets software development teams describe how software should behave in plain text; and this text follows some conventions and keyword specified by a syntax called Gherkin. At the moment the feature supported for this language are:

  • Syntax Highlighting (Colors, editable in the preference)
  • Navigation of feature files (the navigator view)
  • A palette to visually add new elements
  • Code Completion (Triggered by Ctrl+Space)
  • Code Folding (Folding on blocks like Feature, Scenario ...)
  • Code Formatting (Triggered by Alt+Shift+F)
  • Language Templates to create new .feature and .future files
  • Hints to fix grammar errors
