REST API Automation Testing from Scratch - REST Assured Java - Understanding the Scenarios Outline in Cucumber

This video tutorial introduces Cucumber, a tool for automating test cases using a specific syntax. It explains the importance of defining scenarios and features, and how to write test cases in Cucumber. The tutorial also covers creating feature files and organizing them into test suites, emphasizing the framework's universality across different testing tools.

Why is it important to define test cases in a scenario format using Gherkin style?

• To reduce the number of test cases

• To ensure compatibility with all automation tools

• To make the test cases more readable

• To automate the test cases using Cucumber

What is the primary focus of the course discussed in the transcript?

• Teaching Selenium automation

• Developing frameworks using Cucumber

• Understanding REST API testing

• Learning Appium for mobile testing

What is the purpose of using dummy test cases in the course?

• To demonstrate the use of Cucumber framework

• To practice writing real Selenium code

• To learn Appium automation

• To test REST API functionalities

Which keyword is used in Gherkin syntax to represent negative testing?

• Or

• And

• But

• Then

What does a 'feature' represent in Cucumber?

• A test suite

• A step definition

• A business requirement

• A single test case

How are multiple scenarios used in relation to a feature in Cucumber?

• They are used to automate different tools

• They are used to create a new feature

• They are used to test different features

• They are used to satisfy a single business requirement

What is the role of a feature file in Cucumber?

• It is used to define step definitions

• It stores the results of test cases

• It is used to write Java classes

• It acts as a test suite containing multiple scenarios

What extension is used for a feature file in Cucumber?

• .gherkin

• .feature

• .cucumber

• .java

What must be included in a feature file to ensure it runs correctly?

• Test results

• Step definitions

• Java class definitions

• Scenario and feature definitions

What is the relationship between a feature file and a test suite in Cucumber?

• A feature file is used for negative testing only

• A feature file is a single test case

• A feature file contains only step definitions

• A feature file is a test suite with multiple scenarios
