Abstract
Background: Testing using Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) techniques is one of the practices of Agile software development. This technique composes a test-case based on a use case scenario, for web application acceptance tests.Objective: In this study, we developed a tool to generate test case codes from BDD scenario definitions to help and facilitate practitioners to conduct testing.Methods: The generated test case code is made according to the codeception framework format so that it can be directly executed by the tester. The procedure is performed as follows: map the correlation of the language used in BDD (gherkin language) and the code syntax of the test code in the codeception framework, designed the GUIs in such a way that users can easily transform the Use Case Scenario, built the tool so that it can generate test cases codes. Evaluation is done by gathering respondents; ask to run the application and gathering feedback from respondents.Results: This tool can generate a codeception test-case file based on the BDD scenario. Generated test cases can be directly used on codeception tools. The results of the evaluation show that the tools can help entry-level programmers in developing automated tests.Conclusion: The tool can help user especially entry-level programmers to generate BDD test-case and make easy for the users for testing the web applications.
Highlights
Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) is an agile software development best practice [1, 2]
In accordance with the precondition attribute of the BDD scenario, the input form must consist of 1 text box to fill the scenario title, 1 text box to fill the user's starting page position (Given I Am On), and 1 submits button to complete the preconditioning process
To fill in the scenario steps, the step input screen scenario must consist of 1 dropdown to select When I or I, 1 dropdown to select the choice of functions contained in the mapping table, 1 text box to fill in the identity of the required function, along with 1 button to submit to add to the scenario step
