@Runwith :
Classes annotated with @RunWith(Cucumber.class) will run a Cucumber Feature. The class should be empty without any fields or methods.
Cucumber will look for a .feature file on the classpath, using the same resource path as the annotated class (.class substituted by .feature).
Additional hints can be given to Cucumber by annotating the class with CucumberOptions.
@CucumberOptions : This annotation provides the same options as the cucumber jvm command line. we can specify the path to feature files, path to step definitions
Options in @CucumberOptions :
1.dryRun : If its ‘true’ then it will Skip the execution of glue code
2.strict : If its ‘true’ then it will fail the execution if there are undefined or pending steps.
3.features : The paths to the feature(s) files which has the spec.
4.glue : This tells where to look for glue code (stepdefs and hooks)
5.tags : This tells Which tags in the features should be executed.
6.format : Generally for reporting purpose.Anyway this is deprecated.
7.plugin : Reporting purpose.(what plugins(s) to use).
8.snippets : what format should the snippets use. underscore, camelcase
