Arquillian vs Cucumber: What are the differences?

<Write Introduction here>
  1. Architecture: Arquillian is primarily used for integration testing of Java applications, allowing developers to test their code in a real environment. On the other hand, Cucumber is a tool that supports behavior-driven development, where tests are written in a language that stakeholders can understand.

  2. Test Scenarios: Arquillian focuses on functional and integration testing of Java applications by deploying them in different containers and testing in a real environment. In contrast, Cucumber is more focused on testing the behavior of the application based on user scenarios written in plain language known as Gherkin.

  3. Test Language: Arquillian uses Java for writing test cases and does not require a separate language for defining test scenarios. Cucumber, however, uses Gherkin syntax to define test scenarios that are then mapped to the actual test code written in programming languages like Java, Ruby, or others.

  4. Collaboration: Arquillian is more suitable for developers and QA engineers who need to test the integration of components within a Java application, whereas Cucumber is popular among BAs, QA teams, and non-technical stakeholders due to its focus on behavior-driven development and plain language scenarios.

  5. Reporting: Arquillian may not have built-in reporting capabilities for test results, which may require integration with other tools for reporting purposes. In contrast, Cucumber provides detailed and user-friendly reports of test execution, making it easier for stakeholders to understand the test outcomes.

  6. Community Support: Arquillian has a strong community of Java developers who contribute to its evolution, while Cucumber has a vibrant community that focuses on supporting behavior-driven development practices and Gherkin syntax for writing test scenarios in various languages.

    What is Arquillian?

    It is an integration and functional testing platform that can be used for Java middleware testing. With the main goal of making integration (and functional) tests as simple to write as unit tests, it brings the tests to the runtime environment, freeing developers from managing the runtime from within the test.

    What is Cucumber?

    Cucumber is a tool that supports Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) - a software development process that aims to enhance software quality and reduce maintenance costs.

    What are some alternatives to Arquillian and Cucumber?
    Selenium
    Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily, it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should!) also be automated as well.
    JUnit
    JUnit is a simple framework to write repeatable tests. It is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks.
    Mockito
    It is a mocking framework that tastes really good. It lets you write beautiful tests with a clean & simple API. It doesn’t give you hangover because the tests are very readable and they produce clean verification errors.
    TestNG
    It is a testing framework designed to simplify a broad range of testing needs, it covers all categories of tests: unit, functional, end-to-end, integration, etc.Run your tests in arbitrarily big thread pools with various policies available (all methods in their own thread, one thread per test class, etc.
    Testcontainers
    It is a Java library that supports JUnit tests, providing lightweight, throwaway instances of common databases, Selenium web browsers, or anything else that can run in a Docker container.
