Tool Choices

I chose to use Cucumber and Ruby to write this test suite because these are the tools used by my current company as well as my Mentor. I chose Cucumber as it is a popular framework and a great way to show how I have learned to organize my code.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the Ruby gem 'bundler' installed

Running Tests

1. Copy the files found in the repo to a desired directory
2. Open terminal and cd in to your selected directory then into the repo
3. Run bundle install to install any other required gems/versions.
4. In the terminal execute: cucumber features

Notes and Comments

1. You will notice that inside of my test suite, there is a page_functionality file. While this is not typically included when using cucumber, I chose to include this file to align with code organization procedures my current employer follows. This allows us to easily access code relevant to any particular webpage when testing features or processes that cross multiple pages.
2. I am still building and honing my skillset. Any constructive criticism or suggested additional learning is appreciated.
