Decoding the step class

Let try to understand the step class code we just wrote. If you look closely, you will observe the following:

• You will find one step method each for every step that we wrote in our test scenario.

• Every step method is annotated with a english like statement. That should match your step statement. This is how cucumber understands which method to execute while runnign a test scenario.

• Also the annotations would have some regular expressions. These are used to pass parameters in the step statement.

• Steps in the scenario are passing data to the step method in the step statements and the step methods accepts them using regex expressions.
