Meet CoreJet
It's a new open source testing tool for BDD
Wait, WTF is BDD?
Well, BDD stands for Behaviour Driven Develpoment and this is where it all began, with a man called Dan.
Behaviour-Driven Development evolved from Test Driven Development.
By realising that everything a system does is a behaviour, and that all behaviour should have a business value, it focuses development and aims to reduce the divide between Business and Technology.
The three core principles are:
Business and Technology should refer to the same system in the same way
Any system should have an identified, verifiable value to the business
Up-front analysis, design and planning all have a diminishing return

How can a vegetable help me?
Actually, CoreJet isn't a vegetable, you're thinking of courgette. CoreJet is a tool that integrates seamlessly with the popular project tracking tool JIRA in order to put the principles of behaviour driven development into action.
This is how it's done:
The behaviours that are required by the business are broken down into Epics, Stories and Scenarios and stored in JIRA by the Business Analysts
Scenarios are written in the BDD format: Given, When, Then
Using the Google Chrome plugin for CoreJet, Stories and Scenarios are translated into Java skeletons.
For UI tests, every Story/Scenario has a number of Page Objects using Selenium 2.0 which allow the tester to interact with the application.
A custom JUnit Runner is used to run stories as tests.
Output is in the form of JUnit and CoreJet XML files
CoreJet XML file is translated into an interactive HTML5 Report and displayed in the browser.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
