I am looking to download just cucumber software to write the scenarios in Gherkin basically it's for our Product Owner to use for writing the scenarios as part of BDD. When I look online I see I could not find a standalone software for cucumber. Is there any standalone software which installs cucumber where scenarios can be written in Gherkin language ??

  • You are looking for the functionality that will be provided by Cucumber Pro. Cucumber Pro is a separate product from the company Cucumber that aims to simplify the life of product owners. Check http://cucumber.io for more detaisl if you are interested. – Thomas Sundberg Nov 16 '16 at 17:08

As part of our current development processes, we also use

Any relatively modern text editor supports plugins or packages that help you write your requirements in Gherkin. As for us - we use Atom with the following packs:

  • language-gherkin
  • gherkin-autocomplete
  • gherkin-table-formatter

But there are a lot more for you to customize it according to your own taste.

As a piece of advice I would strongly recommend to add a linter check into your CI server's pipeline. We use gherkin-lint with great success. Even non techie people get used to it quite quick and produce syntax correct Gherkin for our next Cucumber steps.

I found a plugin which integrates with notepad++. After that, I am able to write feature files with gherkin language.
