BDD is BECOMING widely accepted practice in agile software development, and Cucumber-JVM is a mainstream tool used to implement this practice in Java. Cucumber-JVM is based on Cucumber framework, widely used in Ruby on Rails world as well as in Java and .NET.

Cucumber-JVM allows developers, QA, and non-technical or business participants to write features and scenarios in a plain text file using Gherkin language with minimal restrictions about grammar in a typical Given, When, and Then structure.

The feature file is then supported by a step definition file, which implements automated steps to execute the scenarios WRITTEN in a feature file. Apart from testing APIs with Cucumber-JVM, we can also TEST UI level tests by combining Selenium WebDriver.
