Description: Step definitions are the code that implements the steps in a scenario, linking natural language with executable code. This concept is fundamental in behavior-driven development (BDD), a methodology that seeks to improve collaboration between developers, testers, and other stakeholders in the software development process. Step definitions allow software requirements to be expressed clearly and understandably, using language that can be comprehended by all parties involved. Each step definition is associated with a specific behavior expected from the system, facilitating the creation of automated tests that validate whether the software meets expectations. This approach not only enhances communication but also helps maintain alignment between development and business objectives, ensuring that the final product is relevant and useful. Step definitions are, therefore, a bridge between technical language and everyday language, promoting better understanding and collaboration in the software development process.
