Gherkin Learning Game
Master Behavior-Driven Development syntax through interactive challenges
Gherkin is a simple, plain-text language that helps business analysts, product owners, and developers communicate about software requirements. Think of it as a structured way to describe how your software should behave in real-world scenarios.
Why Use Gherkin?
- • Clear Communication: Everyone understands the same requirements
- • Living Documentation: Requirements that stay up-to-date with your software
- • Automated Testing: Turn requirements into executable tests
- • Reduced Ambiguity: Structured format prevents misunderstandings
Basic Building Blocks:
Describes what functionality you're building and why it matters to users
A concrete example of how the feature should work in a particular situation
Sets up the starting conditions - what's already true before the action
The specific action that triggers the behavior you want to test
What should happen as a result - the expected behavior or outcome
Advanced Concepts:
Adds more conditions or shows contrasting expectations
Shared steps that run before each scenario in a feature
Run the same scenario with different data sets using placeholders
Provides the data sets for Scenario Outline in table format
