I have been a long time user of TestNG. Few months back, I started exploring about
Cucumber. It was a wish from my client to create automation framework using Cucumber.
I searched on web & found many blogs on Cucumber & its implementation.
I started with assumption that Cucumber will replace TestNG. After working for
few months, I came to following conclusion they are as follows -
Cucumber
|
TestNG
|
- Cucumber
is a collaboration tool, which lets non-technical people write executable
specifications. Those executable specifications test your app from the
outside - like a black box.
- Cucumber
is not meant to be used as a unit testing tool.
- It allows to write automated acceptance tests, functional requirements
and software documentation into one format that would be understandable by
non-technical people as well as testing tools
- You
can implement your tests using the same language you use to discuss them
with the business.
- Cucumber
adds the overhead of plain English (or other native language) to
executable code conversion
- Good
for acceptance testing
|
- TestNG
are unit testing tools. They are great for testing individual classes, but
not great for executable specifications that are readable (and writeable) by
non-technical people.
- It
facilitates to test individual classes.
- You
can group tests using tags.
- TestNG
supports a lot of complicated practices
like priorities, grouping, listener etc.
- Useful
when you have to automate large number of test case
