| 3 | Can be written in any programming language like Java, Python, Ruby, C#, and so on. | Can be written in Gherkin language. |
| 4 | Developed in Java. | Developed in Ruby. |
| 5 | Can only be used by users having technical knowledge. | Can be used by users without any technical knowledge. |

Feature File
Feature: Login Module Scenario: User login Given: Visit URL "https://tutorialspoint.com"
The corresponding Step Definition File
@Given ("^Visit URL \"([^\"]*)\"$")
public void visit_url(String u){
System.out.println("URL is : " + u);
}Example
Implementation with Selenium −
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;
public class BrwserLaunch{
public static void main(String[] args) {
//configure path of IEDriverServer.exe path
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver",
"C:\Users\ghs6kor\Desktop\Java\IEDriverServer.exe");
//object of InternetExplorerDriver
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
//URL launch
driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm");
driver.quit();
}
