Cucumber

Behaviour-driven development tool using plain language specs

About Cucumber

A tool for behaviour-driven development that runs automated acceptance tests written in plain-language Gherkin, helping teams collaborate on specifications that double as living documentation. A free tier or open core makes it easy to start, while paid plans typically unlock team collaboration, managed hosting, security controls and priority support. This suits growing teams that want to prototype cheaply, prove value with actual usage and then standardise on a supported deployment without migrating to a different product later on.
