Cucumber: Scenario Outline reusing examples table

Question

I have a few tests like below:

Scenario Outline: Add two numebrs
  Given two numbers  and 
  When I add them
  Then Result is         


        

Answer 1

You can use qaf-gherkin where you can move examples in external file and use it with one or more scenario. With qaf your feature file may look like below:

Scenario Outline: Add two numebrs
  Given two numbers  and 
  When I add them
  Then Result is 

  Examples::{'datafile':'resources/testdata.txt'}

Scenario Outline: Update two numebrs
  Given two numbers  and 
  When I update them
  Then Result is 
  Examples:{'datafile':'resources/testdata.txt'}

And your datafile will look like:

  #col.separator=|
  number_1|number_2|number_3
  2|3|5       
  1|2|3       

Above is example of csv (charter separated values) data provider with | as seperator. You also can use different data providers to provide data from any of excel/xml/json/database.

EDIT: qaf-cucumber has BDD2 support with cucumber that can be used with Cumber 5.
