easyb supports capturing additional hip information regarding stories, such as a story’s description and some detail regarding the features, benefits, and roles of a persona related to a story. For instance, the DSL now supports a description syntax that takes a String value — single quote or Groovy’s triple quote trick.
description "some description"
scenario "text"or
description """some long description that requires
multiple lines, etc
"""
scenario "text"What’s more, you can provide additional details of a story via the narrative syntax:
description "text"
narrative "description", {
as_a "role"
i_want "feature"
so_that "benefit"
}
scenario "text"Both the narrative and description keywords are optional and they don’t have to be used together– i.e. you can use the narrative one without providing a description. These aspects will be captured in the output (i.e. story report) of an easyb run too.
From a fixture standpoint, easyb supports both one time fixtures (before) and for each scenario (before_each). Of course, you can add tearDown-like behavior in after and after_each.
You can download the latest release from easyb’s Google code page.
