Protractor.js is dead, What did we learn? Part 1
My recent article “ ‘Cucumber is Dying’, What did we learn?” turned out to be a hit, in terms of reads within my 300+ articles. I have been warning people about “Gherkin” in test automation at software testing conferences, in my books, during my coaching, …, etc. There were disagreements and doubts about my judgment. This time, no single argument/disagreement, as my prediction (since 2013) about Cucumber is correct.

BDD Clarified: BDD ≠ “Given-When-Then” (Gherkin)
Cucumber is the first Gherkin BDD framework, and it gained popularity gradually. Cucumber is written in Ruby, naturally, its clones were created, such as SpecFlow and JBehave, in other languages. However, many people think Cucumber (and its clones) is equivalent to BDD, and that is wrong!

“Cucumber is Dying”, What did we learn? Part 1: The Facts
The article title is not clickbait. It is the headline of the Software Testing Weekly #166 (on 2023–05–01). “Back in February, Matt Wynne — the last of Cucumber’s co-founders who actively worked on the project — got fired. He shared about it in this blog post. That raised questions about the project’s future. Someone even claimed that Cucumber is dead which sparked a big discussion on Reddit. So what’s next? Without a bigger sponsor behind the project, the chances for its growth and maintenance are lower. On the other hand, thousands of people and companies still use it. So now it’s up to the community. But I’d think twice before picking Cucumber again.”
