BDD, or Behavior-Driven Development, is a software development methodology that focuses on understanding the behavior of a system before writing code. The goal is to build software that meets the requirements of stakeholders and can be easily tested.

Gherkin is a plain-text language used to write BDD tests. It's designed to be simple and easy to understand for everyone involved in the development process, including non-technical stakeholders. Gherkin tests are written in a structured format, following the keywords "Given", "When", and "Then".

For example, a Gherkin test might look like this:

Given the user is on the login page

When the user enters their credentials

Then the user should be directed to the home page.

By using Gherkin and BDD, teams can ensure that they are building software that meets the needs of stakeholders and can be easily tested. The structured format of Gherkin tests makes it easy to create, modify, and maintain tests, even as requirements change.

Cucumber.js is a JavaScript implementation of the Cucumber testing framework. It provides a way to write tests in a way that is easily understandable by both technical and non-technical people.
Cucumber.js works by matching the test scenarios written in Gherkin with JavaScript code that implements those scenarios.
This allows for the tests to be easily maintainable and understandable by the entire team, including stakeholders and business representatives. Additionally, cucumber.js integrates well with other testing tools, making it a popular choice for Behavior Driven Development (BDD) in JavaScript projects.
