Cucumber Starter

Cucumber Starter is the Cucumber site template: a site to run Cucumber's automated functional acceptance testing management, with Feature media items, Gherkin scripts and test dashboards. It brings what the Cucumber distribution installs to recipes.

What you get

One site template that composes the Cucumber recipes into a working testing-management site, with Gin as the administration theme and the default dashboard as the front page.

• Cucumber Core: Feature media items with their Gherkin scripts, the Feature Directory vocabulary, the Features and Media views, and the automated testing workflow, with Cucumber Core.
• Cucumber Recipes: the Components, Products and Projects content types with their displays, views and administration menu links, with Cucumber Recipes.
• Cucumber User Roles: Super Admin, Admin, Product Owner, Coordinator, Designer, Developer, Tester and Analyst, with Cucumber User Roles.
• Default content to see the system working from the start, with Cucumber Default Content.
• A page layout built in Display Builder with UI Suite components, and the test screens of Cucumber UI, built on Drupal core's HTMX. No Layout Builder displays, no Drupal Canvas.

Demo content for this template is a separate download: Cucumber Demos.
