E9 - cucumber-utPLSQL: Gherkin BDD/ATDD test runner for PL/SQL

[jgebal]

Target release or timeframe

No response

Scope and goals

Problem

There's no way to write ATDD/BDD-style tests (Gherkin syntax) directly against the database using utPLSQL today.

Proposed direction

Design and implement cucumber-utPLSQL: a Gherkin interpreter and test runner enabling ATDD/BDD directly within database development.

Depends on

#13 Cucumber-utPLSQL is expected to reuse the isolated annotations/cache modules rather than duplicating framework internals. Don't start implementation before E3 ships.

Open questions

• How much of Cucumber's standard step-definition conventions map onto PL/SQL?
• ... ?
