Gherkin Language

Gherkin is a business-readable, domain-specific language created for Behavior-Driven-Development. It allows developers and stakeholders to define software requirements through structured natural language. The syntax relies on specific keywords to create Executable-Specifications. A typical Gherkin document describes a Feature and contains multiple Scenario examples. Each step in a scenario begins with one of the primary keywords: Given, When, or Then. This methodology is central to tools like Cucumber, SpecFlow, and Behat. By focusing on behavior rather than implementation, Gherkin helps teams avoid misunderstandings and ensures that the Software-Testing process is transparent. Further details can be found on the official Cucumber documentation site and the Gherkin Wikipedia page.
