Behavior-driven development (BDD) Cucumber Katalon for Automation GUI testing case CURA and Swag Labs

Abstract

Graphical user interface (GUI) is widely used in software applications. About 50% of the application code is for GUI implementation. Because labor costs are high and demands for high-quality software are increasing, automation GUI testing will be a good investment for any software company. We will apply the Behavior-driven development (BDD) method for automation GUI testing with the Cucumber framework on the CURA and Swag Labs web applications. The BDD methodology used is based on the NLP (natural language program) concept. Where the information of semi-automatically produce a step definition and code framework. The scenarios are given on the natural language and then applied to Software Testing. Class diagrams and sequence diagrams are also applied to each represent a code framework automatically. The author uses Katalon Studio software. It was found that the results of the test case automation GUI testing on the CURA website with 210 steps passed, 3 step warnings with average responses times in the test case were 1.92 minutes. The results of the test case automation GUI testing on the Swag Labs web with 87 where 36 steps failed, 4 step warning and 44 step passed with an average responses times in the test case are 2,122 minutes.
