1| Add an Eclipse plugin, Cucumber Eclipse feature using the below URL,
http://cucumber.github.com/cucumber-eclipse/update-site
2| Help > install new software... > paste the above url in work with text field and press enter key.
3| After the installation is done, restart Eclipse IDE.

4| Create a Maven project and add the following dependencies in POM.xml file

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

5| Now, create a test run class file

package BDD.Cucumber;

import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

import cucumber.api.junit.Cucumber;


@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@Cucumber.Options(format = {"pretty", "html:target/cucumber","json:target/cucumber.json"})
public class RunTest {

}


6| Now, create a test class file

package BDD.Cucumber;

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.junit.Assert;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import cucumber.api.Scenario;

import cucumber.api.java.After;

import cucumber.api.java.en.Given;

import cucumber.api.java.en.Then;

import cucumber.api.java.en.When;

public class Googlesearch {

public WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

@Given("^Google page \"([^\"]*)\"$")

public void i_open_google_page_as(String URL) throws Throwable {

driver.get(URL);

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

}

@When("^I enter \"([^\"]*)\" in search box$")

public void i_enter_in_search_box(String arg1) throws Throwable {

driver.findElement(By.name("q")).sendKeys(arg1);

}

@When("^I press enter key$")

public void i_press_enter_key() throws Throwable {

driver.findElement(By.name("q")).submit();

}

@Then("^I should get the results of \"([^\"]*)\"$")

public void i_should_see_results_of(String content) throws Throwable {

Thread.sleep(3000L);

boolean b = driver.getPageSource().contains(content);

Assert.assertTrue(b);

}

@After

public void after(Scenario scenario) {

driver.close();

}

}

7| Create a new source folder, "resources" under src/test/
8| Now, create a package, "BDD.Cucumber"
9| Then create a file with extension .feature
Right click BDD.Cucumber under src/test/resources > New > Other > File
10| Name the file with extension .feature; i.e., test.feature

Feature: test

@foo
Scenario: google search

Given Google page "http://www.google.com"
When I enter "Prashanth Sams" in search box
When I press enter key
Then I should get the results of "Prashanth Sams"
