Tags and Tagged Hooks
Tags in Cucumber are labels that can be assigned to scenarios or features to categorize or group them.
Tags start with the "@" symbol followed by a keyword or phrase.
They provide a way to selectively run specific scenarios or features based on their tags.
Tagged hooks in Cucumber allow for setup and teardown actions to be executed only for scenarios or features with specific tags.
Tagged hooks are defined using the "Before" and "After" annotations in step definition files.
Hooks can be tagged using the same "@" symbol and the desired tag name.
Tagged hooks enable conditional execution of setup and teardown actions based on the presence of specific tags.
They provide flexibility in defining custom behaviors for different scenarios or features.
Tagged hooks can be used to set up specific test data, perform environment-specific configurations, or handle special scenarios.
Tagged hooks enhance reusability and maintainability by allowing targeted actions for specific test cases or groups.
