Selenium Test Automation Using Cucumber Framework

Cucumber is a testing tool that supports Behavior Driven Development (BDD) framework. It defines application behavior using simple English text, defined by a language called Gherkin. Cucumber allows automation functional validation that is easily read and understood. Cucumber was initially implemented in Ruby and then extended to Java framework. Both the tools support native JUnit.

The LambdaTest Selenium grid doesn’t identify if you test ‘passed’ or ‘failed’. It only identifies whether a test has executed to its last command or whether it has stopped/timed-out before it. The user would have to pass on these parameters to the LambdaTest platform to make it possible for tracking these values. Use LambdaTest API or LambdaTest Annotations for pushing additional metadata to LambdaTest or to track the pass/fail status of a test.

Yes! One of the key features of LambdaTest Selenium grid is the ability to run your test cases in parallel. This means you can execute numerous automation test cases altogether and cut down on test times. With LambdaTest Selenium grid, you can run a single test scenario across different browsers or different test scenarios with the same browser (or any other combinations). The number of parallel test cases you can run depends on the number of concurrent sessions under your opted plan.

Maximum number of test cases that can be queued = n + 150

Here, n = number of concurrent sessions. For instance, if you opt for pricing that allows up to 10 concurrent sessions, the maximum number of test cases that can be queued will be 10 + 150, i.e., 160 queued test cases. LambdaTest would automatically schedule and execute test cases for you.

We have added a capacity constraint on the number of tests that can be queued to prevent over-exploitation of the platform. Refer to LambdaTest Queuing Policy to know more.

LambdaTest Concurrency Calculator helps you calculate the number of parallel sessions you need for your test coverage. Feed the information to our Concurrency Calculator, and it will suggest the appropriate number of parallel sessions.
