groupId: com.stakeflow

ArtifactId: CucumberFramework

Package: CucumberFramework

Login.feature

Feature: Login into account

2. 48.0b9/ download this version : https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/48.0b9/
3. download : https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/48.0b9/win64/en-GB/

Creating  first step definition class:

• create login class
• highlight feature file and run configuration and select cucumber feature then double click on new configurationa and give name login go to feature path and browse on actual feature file and dobul click and run....then you can see execution of feature file.
• copy syntex and paste that code.
