Cucumber Integration plugin enables seamless support for behavior-driven development (bdd) within the polarion ecosystem. it allows teams to author, manage, and trace cucumber feature files directly inside work items using a built-in gherkin editor, while also capturing and importing test execution results into polarion. designed for qa teams and test engineers, this plugin bridges the gap between natural language test scenarios and structured alm traceability.

Key Features

• inline gherkin editor: add feature files directly to any work item using a native-like gherkin editor with syntax validation and rich text formatting.
• work item integration: feature files are stored as attachments and can reference individual test cases via their id tags, supporting multi-scenario structures.
• rest api support: access, upload, and export feature files via dedicated rest api endpoints, with support for both single and bulk (zip) operations.
• test result import: import test results in either cucumber json or junit xml format. the plugin automatically creates test runs and test records with status tracking.
• traceability & automation: enable traceability from user stories to test scenarios and results — fully aligned with your polarion workflows.
• lightweight setup: simply add the gherkin editor to any work item form via a one-line configuration change. no additional admin rights required.
• up-to-date documentation: full usage guidelines and rest api references available under the “about” and “rest api” tabs in the extension administration panel.
