Cucumber is a tool that executes plain-text functional descriptions as automated tests. The language that Cucumber understands is called Gherkin, which is a business-readable, domain-specific language that describes the software’s behavior without detailing how that behavior is implemented. It is a line-oriented language and uses indentation to define structure. Line endings terminate statements (e.g., steps). Either spaces or tabs may be used for indentation (but spaces are more portable). Most lines start with a keyword.

The Scenario Types are inferred from the Scenario specification, i.e., the behavior to be reproduced by the Cucumber tool in entered in the Steps field.
Edit Scenario Description
To edit a scenario, click in the scenario description editor, and it will enter in edit mode. The edit mode is easily identified by its background color and the Save and Cancel buttons at the bottom of the textbox.
Gherkin keyword suggestions are displayed if press CTRL+Space keys.
After having the step keyword, BDD step suggestions are also be displayed if press CTRL+Space. The suggested BDD steps come from the existing BDD steps in the project's BDD steps library.
Once you are done editing the scenario description you should press the Save button.
If the inserted scenario description is invalid Gherkin, it will still be saved as it is but a warning will be displayed next to the editor when in view mode.
