Sasha Roussak
Hi everyone!
I am starting in test automation. I like Python direction, but in many roles, Cucumber is asked as the skill. So is behave totally replacing Cucumber or it would be better to learn Java and Cucumber?

behave Alternatives & Comparisons
What are some alternatives to behave?
Cucumber
Cucumber is a tool that supports Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) - a software development process that aims to enhance software quality and reduce maintenance costs.
act
Rather than having to commit/push every time you want test out the changes you are making to your .github/workflows/ files (or for any changes to embedded GitHub actions), you can use this tool to run the actions locally. The environment variables and filesystem are all configured to match what GitHub provides.
Beehive
Beehive is an event and agent system, which allows you to create your own agents that perform automated tasks triggered by events and filters. It is modular, flexible and really easy to extend for anyone. It has modules (we call them Hives), so it can interface with, talk to, or retrieve information from Twitter, Tumblr, Email, IRC, Jabber, RSS, Jenkins, Hue - to name just a few.
Lettuce
It is a very simple BDD tool based on the Cucumber, which currently has many more features than Lettuce.
It aims the most common tasks on BDD and it focus specially on those that make BDD so fun.
Git
Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.
