Behavior-Driven Python
summary
Shows how to write real Gherkin scenarios and glue them to Python step definitions using the behave framework, with a runnable GitHub example and pip install commands. Demonstrates context passing, hooks for webdriver setup and teardown, backgrounds and scenario outlines for reuse, and config/tag filtering. Notes common tools like Selenium and requests and warns that behave has no built‑in parallel execution. Pick this if you want concrete code, wiring, and a working example repo.
