RunBDDTest.java

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(strict = false, features = &quot;features&quot;, format = { &quot;pretty&quot;,
        &quot;html:target/site/cucumber-pretty&quot;,
        &quot;json:target/cucumber.json&quot; }, tags = { &quot;~@ignore&quot; })
public class RunBDDTest {
 
}

Demo:

Launch with

mvn clean install

The result is at /target/site/cucumber-reports/feature-overview.html

Conclusion

JSON is OK for integration with other tools (jenkins plugin, reports, etc).

Pretty HTML is OK during development phase (like a JUnit or Surefire report for versionning).

Cucumber-Reports is good for reporting outside of the dev team (like managers).
