What is Cucumber?

Cucumber is a software testing tool that supports Behavior-Driven Development (BDD). It allows you to write acceptance tests that non-programmers can understand. These tests are written in plain text using a syntax called Gherkin, which describes the expected behavior of the software. Cucumber then executes these tests against your application code, verifying that the software behaves as specified.
