Cucumber was created as a tool to support teams using Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD). Teams that are practicing BDD typically use the Gherkin language (also known as Given-When-Then) to document the key examples of how their software should behave. They use Cucumber to execute those documents as Acceptance Tests and check their software’s behaviour against the documents.
Cucumber for Jira brings those Gherkin documents into Jira - the place where your whole team already works together.
Let's take a look at how you might build a simple application from scratch using BDD, Cucumber and Cucumber for Jira.
