Gauge is a light weight cross-platform test automation tool. It uses markdown to author test cases and scenarios. Its modular architecture makes it flexible and scalable.
Markdown[edit]
Gauge specifications[2] are written in the business language. For example,
Find movies playing near me =========================== The System Under Test in this example is a web application to find and book movie tickets Search for movies ----------------- * Specify location as "Bangalore" * Search for movie "Star Wars" * Verify that "INOX" is playing "Star Wars" at "7:30 pm" Book movie ticket ----------------- * Sign up with email address <user@example.com> * Complete the verification * Select location as "Bangalore", the movie "Star Wars" and "3" seats * Confirm and pay * Verify the "e-ticket" has been sent to the registered email. This Gauge specification describes a feature of the System Under Test. The scenarios[3] Search for movies and Book movie ticket represent a flow in this specification. Steps[4] are executable parts of a specification.
Test Code[edit]
Specifications in Markdown abstracts code behind the steps.
For example, the step Specify location as "Bangalore" implementation in Java would look like
// This Method can be written in any java class as long as it is in classpath. public class StepImplementation { @Step("Specify location as <location>") public void helloWorld(String location) { // Step implementation } } Gauge has Support for writing test code in:
