Gherkin format - While standard test scripts typically describe test steps, required test data, and expected results, Gherkin provides a higher-level, more business-friendly approach to describing software behavior and requirements.

In Gherkin, you write executable specifications that are meant to be understood by both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Gherkin uses a specific syntax that includes the following key elements:

1. Feature: Describes the high-level functionality or feature that is being tested. It provides context for the scenarios that follow.

2. Scenario: Describes a specific test case or scenario. Each scenario outlines a particular behavior or interaction with the software.

3. Given-When-Then: These keywords are used to structure the steps within a scenario.

   • Given: Describes the initial context or setup for the test scenario.

   • When: Describes the action or event that triggers the behavior being tested.

   • Then: Describes the expected outcome or result of the scenario.
