Gherkin (language for writing tests)

Gherkin is a human-readable language used to write automated tests for software. It helps teams specify how a feature should work using plain language with structured formatting, making test scenarios clear and understandable for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Gherkin uses simple keywords like "Given," "When," and "Then" to describe the initial conditions, actions, and expected outcomes of a test. This approach promotes collaboration, aligns development with business goals, and ensures that the software behaves as intended through clear, testable descriptions.
