BDD Tests: Have Your End-to-End Tests Written for You

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

Proposes letting business/functional people write End-to-End specs in Gherkin while developers run them. Implements this by mapping Cucumber/Gherkin feature files to TestCafe (using Hammerhead proxy) so tests run without Selenium; compares this setup to Protractor and to Cypress (noting Cypress is Chrome-only). Describes a small library and web editor that generates feature files and launches TestCafe to speed authoring and setup, but notes step definitions still require developer code and Gherkin makes factorization hard.
