How to get name of scenario in cucumber java?

From version 1.6, in addition to, getStatus() and getSourceTagNames(), there is another method, getName() that returns the scenario’s description.
For example, for a scenario as follows:

Scenario: verify number of topics shown in the UI

scenario.getName() returns "verify number of topics shown in the UI"

I initialize scenario in @Before as follows:

@Before
public void before(Scenario scenario) {
    this.scenario = scenario;
}

Hope this helps.
