What are the best practices for writing Gherkin scenarios?

When writing Gherkin scenarios, it's important to keep them clear and concise. Use the Given-When-Then format to structure your scenarios.

Can you give me an example of a well-written Gherkin scenario?

Sure! Here's an example:

Feature: User login
  Scenario: Successful login
    Given the user is on the login page
    When the user enters valid credentials
    Then they should be redirected to the dashboard

This scenario clearly outlines the feature and the steps involved.

How do I handle complex scenarios in Gherkin?

For complex scenarios, consider breaking them down into smaller, more manageable scenarios. You can also use Background to set up common steps.

What should I avoid when writing Gherkin scenarios?

Avoid using technical jargon, making scenarios too long, or including multiple outcomes in a single scenario. Keep it simple!
