Learn Cucumber BDD From Scratch+ Automation Framework Design (Udemy.com)

Highest Rated Course on Cucumber BDD! Learn Cucumber with Java, Maven, JUnit, Selenium WebDriver, Page Object Model.

Created by: Dezlearn Education

Last updated January 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 6,572 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in January 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a short, code-first course on Cucumber BDD with Java, JUnit and Selenium WebDriver, taught by Dezlearn Education. It runs 3.9 hours across 37 lectures and 8 sections. The syllabus covers Gherkin, step definitions, parameters, data tables, hooks and tags, then builds a Page Object Model framework and finishes with a bonus section on a reporting plugin. There are no slides. Despite the All Levels label, the requirements ask for basic Java and Selenium, so it suits working or aspiring automation testers more than true beginners.

Most of the 6,572 ratings are four or five stars, and the praise is steady: clear explanations, concepts that are easy to follow, and a framework people say they used on real projects. The complaints are small but consistent. One reviewer found it repetitive and slow in places. Another thought the PageFactory section ran long and drifted away from Cucumber itself. A 2024 reviewer said the cookie banner handling no longer matched the live site, so some examples need tweaking. A German reviewer said the Java and Selenium prerequisite was not made obvious.

At about four hours it is quick to finish, and it was refreshed in January 2026, though the setup still points to JDK 10 and Eclipse, so expect some version friction. For testers who already write Selenium and need Cucumber fast, it is a sensible pick. Anyone after a longer path with TestNG, CI or API work should look elsewhere, and newcomers should learn Java and Selenium first. One reviewer also wanted the monochrome option and hook ordering explained better.

Best forTesters who know basic Java and Selenium and want Cucumber plus a Page Object framework in about four hours.
Skip it ifYou are new to Java or Selenium, or want TestNG, CI and API testing rather than a focused Cucumber course.

Pros

  • Short at 3.9 hours, so a working Cucumber setup is reachable in a few sittings
  • Covers Gherkin, parameters, data tables, hooks and tags through live-site coding, no slides
  • Ends with a Page Object Model and PageFactory framework that reviewers reuse at work
  • Explanations are described as clear and crisp, with concepts easy to follow

Cons

  • Java and Selenium basics are required, but one reviewer says this was not flagged up front
  • Some reviewers find it repetitive, and the PageFactory section is long and only loosely tied to Cucumber
  • Examples built on a live website have drifted, for instance a missing cookie banner step
Got detailed understanding of whole cucumber framework within 4 hours. It's an amazing course which helped me to understand the framework easily.

Course and explanation is very good. All the concepts are understood. The concept of monochrome can be explained better, i still did not understand fully what is monochrome, also the order of hooks if order priority is not specified, cucumber execution is different than what i have seen in the course when i practised. over all very good learning experience, i am feeling that i am taking this course bit late, but in serious job hunt now so took the course.

By Anonymized User on 4/18/2025

Merci ! :-) L'objectif est atteint avec cette formation. Cela montre bien l'application des scripts Gherkin (appris dans un autre cours) via Cucumber. Seule la partie factorisation de code (PageFactory et Actions) est un peu longue et pas directement liée au sujet. Pour un développeur, ce n'est pas nouveau. Pas forcément obligatoire de créer et relancer des tests pour montrer chacune des options Cucumber (monochrome, dryRun, tags ...).

having half knowledge is dangerous than having no knowledge. I was in that half knowldege zone and thankyou soooooo much for helping me fill the knowldege gaps. This course was soooo much interesting that I forgot to have my lunch.

By Anonymized User on 12/15/2022

the course was very informative. some parts are kind of slow repeating the same thing 20 times, e.g. i don't know how many times "before means before and after means after" in common steps part was repeated, so over 6 min video could be 1 min video. but in general the course was good. thanks

By Ancy Valsa Kurien on 11/10/2022

I gained knowledge on Cucumber. But as you reach the higher level, you will come across Selenium codings, if you are new to it, it would confuse you. But if you focus on Cucumber training, you will gain lots of information. Thanks for the course.

By Anonymized User on 1/16/2022

Superb! Amazing course for Cucumber BDD. As mentioned, Mayur (Instructor) keeps his focus on cucumber framework and does not get into much details of Java/Selenium. His way of explaining the framework concept and how it is created showing practical scenario is really appreciable. Note that course is more useful if you are aware about automation and have some experience.

By Sachindra Kumar Tripathi on 10/6/2021

I took the classic course of Mayur's Selenium WebDriver with Java. Just became a fan of his simple teaching approach, and his calm demeanor. Hence when my project demanded me to skill up Cucumber skills, I straightaway enrolled to this course. And I am very glad that I did.

By Rakib Kuddus on 6/3/2021

Would have loved to see Background topic as well as data table implementation though collections too. Overall it's very nice course for beginner to Cucumber provided basic Selenium knowledge should be there.

By Leonardo Setti on 5/18/2021

Straightful course that towards to the general concept of the framework and tell us how the elements are connected, very good practical examples. Highly recommended even for those that still starting its journey through automation using Selenium

By Aaron Martin on 3/18/2021

I loved this course. It was fairly easy to follow and when it got a bit faster paced in the end I was able to pause and catch back up before continuing. It really helped me to understand how to get going from scratch.
