What are Cucumber Tags?

We can define each scenario with a useful tag. Later, in the runner file, we can decide which specific tag (and so as the scenario(s)) we want Cucumber to execute. Tag starts with “@”. After “@” you can have any relevant text to define your tag like @SmokeTests just above the scenarios you like to mark. Then to target these tagged scenarios just specify the tags names in the CucumberOptions as tags = {“@SmokeTests”}.

@FunctionalTest
Feature: ECommerce Application

@SmokeTest @RegressionTest
Scenario: Successful Login
Given This is a blank test

@RegressionTest
Scenario: UnSuccessful Login
Given This is a blank test

Execute all tests tagged as @SmokeTest OR @RegressionTest :	tags = {"SmokeTest,RegressionTest"}
Execute all tests tagged as @SmokeTest AND @RegressionTest :	tags = {"SmokeTest", "RegressionTest"}
Execute all tests of the feature tagged as @FunctionalTests but skip scenarios tagged as @SmokeTest :	tags = {"FunctionalTest","~SmokeTest"}
