Is it possible to use Cucumber outside Rails? I'd like to start using it for testing some of my PHP applications, but I really don't know how to start.
Probably the easiest way would be creating a Rails project only to run Cucumber features, but that seems like to me as overkill.
What is the simplest way to set up Cucumber for testing a non-Rails application?

Cucumber is an open-source software testing tool written in Ruby. Cucumber enables you to write test cases that anyone can easily understand regardless of their technical knowledge.
Hi Govind, to run a Cucumber Web Test, following software requirements should be fulfilled: Ruby and its Development Kit. Cucumber. IDE like Eclipse or ActiveState.
The decision to use Cucumber or a unit testing framework is depending on the cooperation with the business. If they have opinions about the behaviour, then use Cucumber. If they are indifferent, use a unit testing framework.
A cucumber is a tool based on Behavior Driven Development (BDD) framework which is used to write acceptance tests for the web application. It allows automation of functional validation in easily readable and understandable format (like plain English) to Business Analysts, Developers, Testers, etc.
