Creating your first Step Definitions file

Now let's assume you are an automation developer and you have to implement automated test cases for a Feature file. The next Step in this direction would be to write the Step Definitions for this Feature file. So, how do we write Step Definitions in a Cucumber project? Let's see how to do this in this recipe.

How to do it…

The easiest way to create Step Definitions is to let Cucumber take care of it. The Steps are as follows:

1. Here is the Feature file used in our previous chapter. Let's use this Feature file to create our first Step Definitions:

   Feature: login Page
     In order to test login page
     As a Registered user
     I want to specify the login conditions
   
     Scenario: checking pre-condition, action and results
       Given user is on Application landing page
       When user clicks Sign in button
