It's OK to have more than one series of When/Then as long as they make for a cohesive scenario, which you've done here. I'd recommend avoiding URLs in the steps though. For example (I don't know what service and option mean in your case, but this should give you an idea): Scenario: Make a new reservation Given a 'Foo' service And the 'Foo' service includes a 'Bar' option When I choose the 'Foo' service Then I see the 'Foo Service' detail When I select the 'Bar' option And I submit my request Then I am be asked for a confirmation When I answer 'Yes' Then I see 'OK' And I see the 'Foo' service in the 'My Services' Note the lack of references to URLS and even pages. I might have taken it too far, depending on your situation. For example, "And I submit my request" instead of "And I click 'submit'" - If there is particular text on the button that is deemed to have business value, then you might say "And I click 'Request Service'" - but if you're referencing DOM IDs or HTML element names like 'submit', I'd hide those.
