Building a BDD Framework from Scratch for Automation Testing

Author(s) Asha Rani Rajendran Nair Chandrika
Country United States
Abstract Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) is a widely adopted software development methodology that emphasizes collaboration among developers, testers, and business stakeholders by using a common language to define application behavior. This article explores the step-by-step process of building a robust BDD automation framework from scratch, tailored for long-term projects. It highlights the importance of choosing the right tools, such as Cucumber, Selenium, and Gherkin, to streamline automation efforts while bridging the gap between business requirements and technical implementation. A structured approach to framework design is presented, covering aspects like folder organization, dependency management, and integration of key components such as Page Object Models and test runner configurations. Readers will gain insights into writing feature files in Gherkin, implementing reusable step definitions, and executing tests to ensure scalability and maintainability. The article also discusses best practices for sustaining the framework, including modularization, version control, and handling future project expansions. With this guide, teams can enhance test coverage, improve communication, and deliver software that aligns seamlessly with user expectations and business goals. By automating behavior-driven scenarios effectively, organizations can achieve higher efficiency, early defect detection, and improved software quality.
