Welcome to the ExpressiveBDD wiki! Don’t hesitate to fill in examples, documentation, etc.

ExpressiveBDD was inspired by Cucumber. ExpressiveBDD only supports a subset of what Cucumber (i.e. Cuke4Duke) does:

• Given, When, and Then steps
• Before
• Step Argument Transforms – with some fine-tuning based on which parameter type the string is being converted into.
• Classpath scanning for annotated methods (use Reflections or provide your own Scope)
• Calling steps from step definitions

Notably missing Cucumber support:

• tags
• tables
• multi-line strings (python style)
• finding all .feature files in a directory
• translations into different languages
• result formatting options

Features unique to ExpressiveBDD:

• fast
  • implemented using the extremely fast pure Java project: expressive
• no use of ruby
