Comment is basically a piece of code meant for documentation purpose and not for execution. Be it a step definition file or a feature file, to make it more readable and understandable. So, it is important to use/put comments at appropriate places in the file. This also helps while debugging the code. Cucumber feature files can have comments at any place. To put comments, we just need to start the statement with “#” sign.Different programming languages have got different norms for defining the comments.
Cucumber gives us a construct called Scenario Outline to be able to parameterize the data table and also loop through each data set repeating the operations on the form submission. The other keyword to be used is Examples: Cucumber picks the data parameter values from the Examples: and loops through the data table. You can compare data table with another data in table format. This data can be from excel, database or any other file. Even when you are testing REST services, you can compare an application response which is in form of table with you feature table.
