REST API Automation Testing from Scratch - REST Assured Java - Introduction to Cucumber

The video tutorial introduces the concept of frameworks in automation testing, emphasizing the importance of using a structured system like Cucumber. Cucumber is presented as a Behavior Driven Development (BDD) framework that offers flexibility and ease of use, especially for those with minimal coding experience. The tutorial covers Cucumber's features, such as data parameterization and execution control, and explains how it can be used for various types of tests, including web, mobile, and API testing. The advantages of Cucumber over other frameworks are highlighted, making it a powerful tool for building robust automation frameworks.
