Playwright and Cucumber is a BDD testing combination that pairs Gherkin feature files with Playwright’s browser automation engine, letting teams write behavior in plain language while executing it through deterministic, code-driven checks. Cucumber parses Feature and Scenario statements written with Given, When, and Then keywords, step definitions bind those statements to TypeScript or JavaScript functions,… Continue reading Agentic Testing and QA with Playwright and Cucumber

BDD is Not Only Gherkin or Cucumber
BDD (Behavior Driven Development) strives to communicate clearly whenever any stakeholder’s understanding of the desired system changes and attempts to have stakeholders in diverse positions interacting smoothly in parallel to maintain a near-constant grasp of the intended system behavior. If that understanding has been misaligned, it should be updated, or it should be synthesized with… Continue reading BDD is Not Only Gherkin or Cucumber
