How to Run Tests with Cypress and Cucumber in Just “10” steps

What is Cucumber?

Cucumber is a software tool that supports behavior-driven development (BDD).

What is BDD?

BDD bridges the gap between business stakeholders and the technical team through a common platform. Hence, communication among the team becomes more transparent.

Gherkin is being used as the language in which the test cases are written in a simple format and can also be read and modified by a non-technical user.
