Hi Mauro, A JBehave step consists of a number of onscreen actions - from a reporting point of view we want to indicate when a step starts so we can mark all subsequent actions [until the step ends] as belonging to that step. In effect it would create a nested log, for example:
Given a user logs in navigate to home page enter username enter password click submit verify logged in When .... some nested log entry another nested log entry Then ... nested log entry nested log entry Does that make sense? The reason we want to do this is that it provides very readable high level logs, but allowing for a view to drill down in to very specific information about each step. thanks, Graham On 21 February 2012 15:29, Mauro Talevi <[email protected]> wrote: > ATM only step outcomes are reported.
