Overview
In this tutorial, we will create some tests in Cucumber/Gherkin, using SpecFlow and C#.
Please note
There are some possible workflows related with Cucumber. More info in Testing with Cucumber.
In this tutorial, we assume that the te
The test (specification) is initially created in Jira as a Cucumber Test and afterwards, it is exported using the UI or the REST API.
Requirements
- Install SpecFlow and the SpecFlow+ Runner 1.7.2 or newer
Description
After creating Cucumber Tests of type "Scenario" or "Scenario Outline", in Jira, you can export the specification of the test to a Cucumber .feature file via the REST API or the Export to Cucumber UI action from within the Test Execution issue.
The created file will be similar to the following:
@CALC-2250 @REQ_CALC-2247 Feature: Sum Operation #In order to avoid silly mistake # #As a math idiot # #I want to be told the sum of two numbers @TEST_CALC-2249 Scenario Outline: Add two positive numbers Given I have entered <input_1> into the calculator And I have also entered <input_2> into the calculator When I press <button> Then the result should be <output> on the screen Examples: | input_1 | input_2 | button | output | | 20 | 30 | add | 50 | | 2 | 5 | add | 7 | | 0 | 40 | add | 40 | | 4 | 50 | add | 54 | | 5 | 50 | add | 55 | @TEST_CALC-2248 Scenario: add two numbers Given I have entered 50 into the calculator And I have also entered 70 into the calculator When I press add Then the result should be 120 on the screen @TEST_CALC-2251 Scenario Outline: add two negative numbers Given I have entered <input_1> into the calculator And I have also entered <input_2> into the calculator When I press <button> Then the result should be <output> on the screen Examples: | input_1 | input_2 | button | output | | -1 | -2 | add | -3 | | 1 | -1 | add | 0 |
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.

The execution screen details will not only provide information on the test run result, but also of each of the examples provided in the Scenario Outline.
The icon represents the evidences ("embeddings") for each Hook, Background and Steps, but is only available for executions done in Xray v2.3.0 and above.
