Writing better BDD scenarios
summary
Workshop teaches concrete rewriting of brittle UI scenarios into domain-level BDD examples, uses Gherkin (Cucumber, SpecFlow) and no laptop work, runs paired workbook exercises that review three real cases (username uniqueness, pizza order confirmation, address-change rules), demonstrates how UI-step automation becomes maintenance debt, shows how to split or combine outcomes, and leaves a checklist of tips plus sample phrasings to copy into feature files so practitioners can immediately apply and test the guidance.
