Maven automates building and running Java projects, giving teams a conventional project structure and a repeatable way to execute automated acceptance tests. section 3.5.1 section 8.2.2
A Maven-based acceptance-testing project typically separates:
- Application code and resources under src/main. section 8.2.2
- Java test code and test resources under src/test. section 8.2.2
- Cucumber feature files under src/test/resources/features, with glue code and runners organized in Java packages. section 8.2.2
Verify a starter project
After creating or cloning a Maven project, run `mvn verify`. Maven scans the project, runs the tests, and reports whether the build succeeds. A Serenity Cucumber starter project supplies a skeleton structure with Cucumber and Serenity BDD dependencies already arranged. section 3.5.1
