Java and Design Brainstorming

Here I am sharing how you can integrate cucumber for behavior driven testing with spring boot integration test and how you collect the reports in Jenkins pipeline.

In a sample spring boot app generated from my custom spring boot archetype we will show a small integration test suite with cucumber and spring boot.

Steps to follow are :

1- Add cucumber maven dependencies to your spring boot pom.xml

<!-- Cucumber-->
<dependency>
    <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
    <artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
    <version>${cucumber-version}</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
    <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>
    <version>${cucumber-version}</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
    <artifactId>cucumber-spring</artifactId>
    <version>${cucumber-version}</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

2- Define cucumber features in your test resources :

3- How to define the features implementation to be executed with your spring boot app logic :

the feature description :

the feature implementation :

4- How to execute the integration test :

you need to configure the root executor with Cucumber runner as the following:

and the integration test triggering which will be done via spring boot integration test :

5- how to collect the test reports in Jenkins pipeline :
