What Cucumber JVM is
Cucumber JVM is the Java implementation of Cucumber, a tool that executes automated tests expressed in plain language. Its installation guide covers Maven and Gradle builds. Test suites run through either the cucumber-junit-platform-engine module or the cucumber-junit module. Optional dependency injection modules share state between step definitions. Hello world starter projects exist for Maven and Gradle.
