Gwen uses the Given, When, Then syntax from Gherkin (thus, its name) to implement an interpretation engine that allows users to easily write "automated tests" (i.e. automated scripts), whose steps will be executed implicitly by their corresponding code implementation. Thus, users can focus on writing (executable) specifications without having to do all the implementation hard-work.

Gwen also separates declarative from imperative style Gherkin specifications. Declarative is done in standard .feature files that may include steps defined in while imperative spefications

Gwen Web Automation (gwen-web) is an engine that extends Gwen and adds capabilities for easy web testing using Selenium under the hood, by providing a DSL that allows users to interact with the browser without having to write code.

From the many interesting features of Gwen is the ability of automatically taking screenshots, which will be available for analysis after tests are run.

Requirements

• gwen
• gwen-web
• cucumber-json-merge

  • npm install -g cucumber-json-merge

Description

We will use the code from the Github repository "cucumber-java-skeleton", with slight changes in order to make the dummy Test pass.

...

After running the tests and generating the Cucumber JSON  report (e.g., data.json), it can be imported to Xray via the REST API or the Import Execution Results action within the Test Execution.

./gwen -b -m meta -f json -r target/reports features
cucumber-json-merge -d target/reports/json/
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -u admin:admin --data @"merged-test-results.json" http://jiraserver.example.com/rest/raven/1.0/import/execution/cucumber

The execution screen details will provide information on the test run result that includes step-level information including duration.

...

Using Xray as master
