Import Gherkin Feature Files

There are several ways to import Gherkin Feature files from Cucumber.

Gherkin and cucumber

Cucumber was first launched ten years ago as a tool to assist Ruby on Rails developers with requirements testing. They were an early supporter of the BDD (Behaviour Driven Development) technique.

Gherkin is their domain specialized language for BDD.

Gherkin is a programming language that allows product teams to describe needs for new products. Every feature in Gherkin is specified in a feature file and adheres to a strict syntax. Each line in the file begins with a Gherkin keyword and specifies a different component of the feature. The goal of Gherkin is to develop clear definitions for each characteristic, which can subsequently be rigorously evaluated.

Gherkin is meant to be human-readable, but, like other formats such as XML, it is not intended to be machine-readable.
