🧱 K11 TechLab – Cucumber BDD Java Automation Framework

A robust, extensible test automation framework built with Java, Cucumber BDD, Selenium WebDriver, TestNG, Appium, and REST Assured — designed for scalable end-to-end testing across web, mobile, and API layers.

This project demonstrates best practices in automation framework architecture, combining modular design, data-driven execution, CI/CD readiness, and comprehensive reporting.

🚀 Features

• Gherkin-Driven Test Design
  Write business-readable feature files using Cucumber syntax for UI, API, and mobile scenarios.

• Page Object Model (POM)
  Clean separation of UI page elements and test logic for enhanced reusability and maintainability.

• Modular Architecture
  Separate layers for step definitions, utilities, mobile/page objects, runners, and configurations.

• Data-Driven Testing
  Supports scenario outlines and external data sources for flexible test input and logic.

• Mobile Testing with Appium
  Automate Android and iOS native/hybrid apps using Appium drivers integrated into the test suite.

• REST API Testing with REST Assured
  Validate API responses, status codes, and payloads via REST Assured, fully integrated into BDD steps.

• Parallel Execution
  Configure and execute test runs in parallel using TestNG and Maven profiles.

• Advanced Reporting
  Supports Allure Reports, ExtentReports, and Cucumber HTML for detailed and actionable reporting.

• CI/CD Friendly
  Fully compatible with Git, Maven, Jenkins, and GitHub Actions for continuous delivery and testing.
