The record

Purpose: Cucumber runs automated acceptance tests written in plain language that can be read by anyone on a team.
BDD support: Cucumber supports Behaviour-Driven Development by reading executable specifications and validating that software behaves as specified.
Gherkin: Cucumber specifications use Gherkin syntax and are stored in `.feature` text files, typically alongside the software in source control.
Step definitions: Step definitions connect Gherkin steps to programming code that carries out each step.
Implementations: Official implementations listed include JavaScript, Java, Ruby, Android Java, Kotlin, Scala, and C++; the page also lists semi-official and unofficial implementations.
Language coverage: The Gherkin grammar has different flavours for spoken languages so teams can use keywords in their own language.
Reporting: Cucumber has built-in report formatters including HTML, JSON, JUnit, and progress, and supports custom formatters.
CI integration: Cucumber can run in continuous integration environments; its documentation describes JUnit output for CI systems and a Jenkins reporting plugin.
Report privacy: Published Cucumber Reports are available at public URLs without authentication and are automatically deleted after 24 hours.
Report data handling: Cucumber Reports says publishing is anonymous, report data is stored in US data centers, and the data is encrypted at rest.
Support: The FAQ directs users with questions to the community and points to documentation, books, and Cucumber School for learning.
Community: Cucumber describes itself as returned to community ownership and lists Discord, GitHub Discussions, and Stack Overflow as places to engage.
Security: The 2025 year-in-review post says the project set up a security policy for reporting security issues.
Project funding: The project says it is funded through donations from Open Collective, GitHub Sponsors, and Thanks.dev, as well as Tidelift and Ethical Ads.
